I saw you on the shore, waving back at me from a far Goodbye my love, goodbye forever Forever, I thought, what a terrible thing With tears in my eyes, please don’t let it be May your love be the lighthouse that guides me home When I am old and grey, and time has gone When the chains have fallen from my hands And freedom has given me hope that I may hold you again Because our love was never in our faces or in our bodies It was in our eyes When I looked into yours, and you looked into mine We saw beyond ourselves, and became one This picture of you I carried with me all those years Was only enough to remind me of your spirit for every time I looked in the eyes of your painted image I saw only hazel and I felt so alone but now as I live these seconds slow not knowing when I will go the picture that became a fleeting mystery has taken on flesh, and become real once more and after so long, and such pain you stand before me on the shore drawing me in to a face and body I no longer know with hope and fear I look into your eyes And again at last I see The home and the love that forever, I’ve known

I saw you on the shore, waving back at me from a far Goodbye my love, goodbye forever Forever, I thought, what a terrible thing With tears in my eyes, please don’t let it be May your love be the lighthouse that guides me home When I am old and grey, and time has gone When the chains have fallen from my hands And freedom has given me hope that I may hold you again Because our love was never in our faces or in our bodies It was in our eyes When I looked into yours, and you looked into mine We saw beyond ourselves, and became one This picture of you I carried with me all those years Was only enough to remind me of your spirit for every time I looked in the eyes of your painted image I saw only hazel and I felt so alone but now as I live these seconds slow not knowing when I will go the picture that became a fleeting mystery has taken on flesh, and become real once more and after so long, and such pain you stand before me on the shore drawing me in to a face and body I no longer know with hope and fear I look into your eyes And again at last I see The home and the love that forever, I’ve known
Enjoy. A poem about a man wondering if upon his return home after many long years the love he shared with his wife and family will be real and apparent again.
