Standing outside the cave
admiring the spectacular views
hiraeth for my love
hopeless feeling is not new
Glancing at the sun
mocking my soul
darkness seems welcoming
deep sadness that is old
Hearing a noise
just outside the cave
it sounds like joy
pulling me from the grave
Sun creates a vision
my love standing there
filled with love and beauty
an answer to a prayer
This is a time to live
not to die
I am always with you
beyond the corner of your eye
Our souls are joined
there is more living to do
love and laughter
physical days separated are few
Live life
each moment is an adventure
see me in everything
during your earthly tenure
The vision ended
tears in my eyes
feeling love and comfort
true love never dies
Walking away
enjoying the cool breeze
love fills my heart
grief is eased

This term hiraeth is like the Portuguese saudad, it’s longing nostalgia,and can’t be explained in a word – poetry does a great job. Nice work.

Debbie this is wonderful. Just perfect. My favourite lines –
“Glancing at the sun
mocking my soul
darkness seems welcoming
deep sadness that is old”
