I am gone from you but
you are not gone from me
I am there - you are with me.
I have slipped free of my earthly body,
just as you will, at a time, marked for you.
A time marked for me, too, as you cross the Bridge.
Ocean breezes lifted our spirits
the salty smell and tang we both enjoyed.
The sea is still there, as am I.
The smell of earth and grass
sweet clover, too, lingered on my paws
as I trod sunlit meadows by your side.
The meadow is still there, as am I.
On the loamy forest floor,
where we ran and laughed,
panting and loving the moment,
the two of us, together.
The forest is still there, as am I.
When at night we'd go to bed and snuggle into
the warmth of blankets, and close to each other--
so close we could feel each others sighs contented
and dream our dreams of the day.
That has not changed. I am beside you
and sometimes you dream of me
and I love it.
When thoughts of me sadden you
I am jumping and whining and circling round
sending strong thoughts of the many times
we were ecstatic with the pure joy of being
kin and friends.
In your waking hours, every sweet, happy,
and good memory you have of me is the
greatest expression of love you could give me.
You are caressing the heart of me.
As good as a snuggle, this side of the Bridge.
I am your friend, and your fur kin, always.
When I look at you with love
my expression is not bound by time.
That love goes on and on...
...and others may see it. Will you?
