I Saw You

I Saw You

I saw you last night in the silent hours,
In that part of the mind where dreams devour
All sense of reality. The moon idled aheadΒ 
Through the myriad of stars in the dark;
And I wondered how you did, holding court with the dead,
As I felt you drift in through the depths of my heart.

I saw you today in the midday sun
As I walked the paths where my tears can run.
I called out to you, to get you to turn,
Hoping it really was you who'd popped by;
Then I wondered how it was I could not discern
The dead from the living, the truth from a lie.

I see you sometimes as memories play
Their games and tricks in the lightΒ  of the day.
I hear your voice weaving softly through the twilight,
upwards and onwards and all round the stars
And I wonder how it is you are gone from my sight
I can feel you so close yet gone are you β€” far.

How bold the dreams brought forth from breath.
How strange this final thing called death.

Bloody told you...you can write!! Beautifully...you'll get a zillion votes for this because it deserves all the praise it can get Tina. This is special because it completely takes us to THAT place...that place in every living soul that will not ever understand or comprehend how it is that a distance so eternally vast can feel so very very and intimately close. ( at times) This is what you have described, fantastically well, for me
the total enigma and mystery of our ongoing connection to our dead.
Gorgeous write xx

Bless you and thankyou Marion. You are very kind. I often think I see my mum, or Robs dad, even his mum. I do know that my cat, Frodo, is still here. I hear him jump down from the kitchen surface. When I had the stables you could here wheelbarrows and hooves and footsteps when no one was around. We lived there, and I used to do a late night check. I was not the only one who heard this either. The dead remain close to us.

I'm glad this poem came across in the way it was meant toΒ x

This is a beautifully written piece expressing the desire so many have not to be parted from those who are gone, yet the poem has a certain simplicity of expression that makes it so endearing

Hi Tina,
I identify - I am lost but still grasp
wispy pictures of my wife as sheΒ 
still chooses to scold me.
Love,
Terry.

Oh Terry...I am so sorry to hear that. Losing aΒ  very close loved one is an extremely tough and difficult journey to negotiate. There are no rules to grief.

Perhaps tell your wife to leave off the scolding and remember the good times you had. Hopefully, she will return in a better mood xx
