On April 24th 2019, I was on a Qantas plane heading to New York, and after spending six days in New York, I caught a train to Philadelphia, were I met up with my three Philadelphia cousins and their families. I had a glorious 4 weeks in Philadelphia, and it was there that I wrote this poem “Dreams Of the Heart”, which was later, published by Spillwords magazine on July 23rd 2019.
Dreams of The Heart
I cannot walk the continents
Like the intrepid Marco Polo
But my feet have felt the sands of time
Pass between my toes
I have not sailed the high seas
Like the courageous Christopher Columbus
But my body has bathed
In an ocean full of kind hearts
I’m yet to fly in space
Like the brave Neil Armstrong
But I have reached for the stars
And touched my soul’s dreams
Ivor Steven (c) May 2019
Let the mind, take you, on the, most, extraordinary, journeys, of all…

Some travel outwards, while some look inwards. Both are equally important and challenging. This piece was really beautiful.

It was was all a life-time dream come true…. which started in the early years of ‘our marriage’.
…. but i managed to go on the journey 40 years later…. with Carole travelling in my heart.
