I Thought I Saw You Poem by Valerie Dohren
I Thought I Saw You
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
A very deep and moving write. Obviously the love that you shared echoes loudly in this poem. A beautiful rose was plucked from the garden and then cared for by God. Keep on looking up Val. I have a poem titled He Cares. I believe that it was written just for you. lol and regards.
love lingers long after it has left. reflections last forever, a lovely poem. live it.
Beautiful is the least i can say about your pen and deep hard, you made me feel your pain and sorrow and opened a gate into your suffering and yet strong heart! Thank you for your beautiful writing

Beautifully written. We never really lose the ones we love. They are in our hearts and minds forever as you've just conveyed.
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
