Moonlight Words
Have I reached the summit?
Of my Mt Kosciusko
Is it time to retire?
To the valley below Mt Beauty
Or will I remain here?
Within the shadows of our You Yangs
My mind is tired
And these old bones
Are pointing down
I wake up with a frown
Like I am wearing King Charles’ heavy crown
Ironically, the day after my finest hour
I am writing these words
For you to read
For everyone to read
My quill is yet to run dry
Nor has my river of tears run dry
And my dreams continue to fly
Freely under the moonlight sky

Ivor Steven (c) November 2022

I clicked on Alicia and then began reading your poem, Ivor. I got a bit teary-eyed.
Keep writing! Keep dreaming! Keep letting those tears flow! Keep flying! ❤️
Coop and I will walk tonight to commune with the moonlit sky!
(((HUGS))) 🙂 ❤️

Thank you Carolyn, … I wrote the poem last Monday when I was in Ballarat resting and relaxing, after a couple of tough months for me … Alicia played the tune superbly … and yes I have already resumed writing again … we are stuck at home today, it’s cold, wet, and windy again … 🤗🐶🌏😍

Sometimes, we’d been on that uphill climb, way too long, and we get, totally stuck, dead in the halfway places, as turning back would mean, that all those hard climbs we already weathered would be for naught, but there’s, that, never-ending road that winds, ahead, and we see, no end, in, sight.

Lovely! Moonlight Sonata was one of the first ‘real’ pieces I learned on the piano.
