Linda Harnett Poems

My life so harsh and hopeless,
And lived in deep despair,
So lost, alone and beaten,
For no one knew me there,
...

I bow my head and close my eyes in prayer,
And send my thoughts to you my absent friend,
Though miles apart I know that you’re still there,
You’ll be with me until the bitter end,
...

Let us ride white horses,
And pray the silver sand,
Beneath the hooves,
Hold us in high esteem,
...

In the calm of the evening,
When thoughts turn to you,
The firelight flames flicker,
Their warmth fills the room,
...

I’ve never seen the moon shine quite so bright,
To cast its eerie glow for miles around,
And through the darkest sky still shines a light,
And in this light my inner peace is found,
...

The sunshine sparkled on a silver sea,
I sat and watched some children on the sand,
I took some time to sit and simply, be,
I needed time alone, you understand?
...

Please go now,
There is nothing left to say,
For love is gone,
You let it slip away,
...

Today I took a wintry walk,
Around snow covered hills,
Passed cottages with windows sills,
Bedecked in icicles,
...

There must have been a reason why we met,
Just brought together for one special night,
We stood as one believing we were set,
For life and love, the future seemed so bright.
...

Today I saw a man; he looked like you,
He crossed my path and stopped me in my track,
That old familiar feeling; out the blue,
I stared at him and found him looking back,
...
