After Memoria
Sliding into euphoria
After falling out of Memoria
Where to start
When there is no beginning
The judges guns remain loaded
But there is no-one on the causeway
Why is the coldest mountain?
In the middle of the desert
How to climb the lowest alps?
Below the deepest ocean
How to soar and fly?
Without wings in a vacant sky
Can the old river be paddled?
After the bath runs dry
Where to find happiness
After falling in the marathon
How to slide into euphoria
After falling out of Memoria

Such truth in your ponderful powerful poem, Ivor!
Yes, life is a marathon…and we must focus on endurance, not speed. 🙂
Thank you for always encouraging us, Ivor, with your poems, photos, and music! 🙂

I was once tripped in a marathon; I got up and ran most of the race with a bloody knee – but it healed, as such events must always do

Marathons are like that… they’re personal but the runners have a lot of respect and compassion for their fellow competitors through the highs and lows during the events … just like life, we slide in and out Euphoria so quickly
