Lost Poem by Valerie Dohren
Lost
Night falls, and only dreams remain
Dim dreams of all that might have passed -
Set deep in shadows, thus my soul
Beneath the dying sun is cast
For darkness steals tomorrow's light
And folly be a trusting heart -
‘Tis those with feathered wings that soar
To vistas which new hope impart
So lost, as in a limbo'd place,
I yearn that I shall find a home -
With no more endless paths to tread
And no more empty fields to roam
But on through des'late years I fare
‘Cross barren lands beset with woe -
E'er searching for a place to be
E'er searching for a place to go
Ah, then to seek my heart's desire
To cherish ever as my own -
The one to set my soul aflame
That I may be no more alone
(O should I ever, shall I dare,
With open arms to full embrace
Yet seek the thing I deem to love
Then gaze upon that one sweet face)
But faint my will to dare to do
All courage does my heart deny
Forever weak, condemned by fear,
And therefore shall my soul yet die
Soft petals from the rose thus fall
For I am but a wilted flower
Encaptured in a hapless world
And seeded in a shaded bower

Words from your pen seem to take on a deeper glow, a fuller meaning in a some what magical way. Poetically, you are far from a wilted flower. Pure, sure poetry here
