I Wish, I Was Green  

  
At 3.00 am, I wish again  
For the harsh sands of time  
To soften, after last night’s misty rain 
 

I wish, to learn something new every day  
Sometimes I did not remember what I wished for  
But I know every dawn beholds a new horizon  
  

I wish, the weathered trees themselves
Would rekindle my stolen dreams
And turn them into a forest of eternal green

I wish, my every fallen leaf
To be waiting there
At the top of my stairs

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

  1. A perfect trio of photo, poem and song, Ivor! Got me teary-eyed.
    So many powerful things …emotionally, dream-wise, thoughts…can go on at 3 a.m.
    Your poem makes me think of one of my fave poems by Robert Frost… “Nothing Gold Can Stay”.

  2. We almost want to outrun time but always find ourselves lagging behind.
    Great write, Ivor. The song is new to me. I enjoyed listening to it.
    I forgeot to mention that the Leonard Cohen song is a favorite.
