Valerie Dohren Poems

O lift me high upon the wind,
To where the wild gulls fly -
Above the mighty ocean’s swell,
Across the sapphire sky.
...

When I am gone, when I am gone,
will you then think of me -
not this for long drawn hours or days
or for eternity ….
...

Those days which were by sunlight blessed
Which were by sweetness full caressed
Are now consumed by shadowed time -
(Cold church bells in the distance chime) .
...

Hush my love, don’t fret and fuss -
now there’s just the two of us.

We’ll dream together, here below
...

Somewhere shines a diamond
Within the cold, grey stone
Silently it slumbers
Set deep and yet unknown
...

So cold upon a winter's day
In icy winds the trees did sway
And all around the snow there lay -
So cold upon a winter's day
...

Little yellow flowers
Dancing in the breeze
Little yellow flowers
Huddled round the trees
...

At the river’s edge I’m dreaming
Fixed in silent reverie
Gazing into crystal waters
Rippling out to capture me
...

Where earth meets sky, around the world
A golden thread is softly curled
And then from sleep thus slowly torn
The angel of the day is born
...

Call me softly in the darkness
Do not deem to wake my soul
Never think to move my stillness
Nor my sorrow yet console
...
