The Cave’s Eye

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

  1. 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.

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