I Thought I Saw You Poem by Valerie Dohren

I Thought I Saw You

Rating: 5.0


I thought I saw you moving in the shadows
Drifting through the silence of the night
How brightly shone your eyes that were upon me
A vision oh so beauteous to my sight

For though you are now gone and I am weeping
To spend my life without you by my side
I know that somewhere fixed within the darkness
Your light will shine forever as my guide

I’m reaching out, my darling, so to touch you
But you are just an image in my mind
And though I’ll never once more hear you breathing
Your heart with mine shall ever be entwined

I thought I saw you moving in the shadows
Along the bridge of death’s long road you passed
Shimmering in the dark there as a phantom
To find eternal peacefulness at last

And I shall linger here set deep in sorrow
Alone, in solitude, no more with you
Full knowing that, one day, we’ll be together
Again our love to shine forever true

So nice expression of the loss of beloved - it touches the heart. A combination of love and agony - very well defined.

I am always grateful for the fleeting glimpses of the faces of those I have loved, and lost...be them, in truth, only seen with the eyes of my broken heart. Your poem is a lovely tribute, I offer my shared sympathy for your loss. PEACE
