Enjoy the Carnival

Arise, forget about the chaos
Surround yourselves with nature’s gloss
And enjoy the carnival’s fairy floss

Arise, be your own boss
Escape the world’s mossy dross
And enjoy the carnival’s fairy floss

One Day Older, Another Page Wiser

Dark clouds go to and froe
Casting shadowy undertows
Our flamboyant Sun knows
How to manage her daily cargo

Wisdom doesn’t grow on trees
Wisdom is like a coral sea
An incrementally maturing apogee

Life is just a dream
That we don’t understand
The meaning of
Until we ‘go to sleep’

Ivor Steven (c) July 2024

“I’m just being dramatic
In fact,
I’m only at it again
As an addict with a pen
Who’s addicted to the wind
As it blows me back and forth
Mindless, spineless, and pretend
Of course I’ll be here again
See you tomorrow“
… Lyrics from “Addict With A Pen”, by Twenty One Pilots





Do You Have The Key?




Come fly with me

Above the trees

Where the air is free

To glide with glee

On the solar breeze

There is no need to plea

On bended knee

Like a refugee

I have the key

To help you flee

Your draught-less captivity

And together, we’ll foresee

The integrity of your destiny

Beyond Flawed Paws


 
 
We are flying north before winter 

I am on the edge of the flock 

The outside feather of the throng  

Away from the main group.  

But close enough 

To sense that I belong


 

Even with my tired and aging wings 

The congregation allows me to tag along 

And they caringly bunch together 

Sheltering me when the wind is strong


  

We are a humble and united colony  

Paternally migrating in perfect harmony 

As part of nature’s cycle of eternity


 

We soar above the flawed paws

Of the world’s sparring community 

And beyond those sharp claws

Of their tragic and panicky community

Ivor Steven (c) April 2024
