Saying goodbye to you
will be the hardest words...

Life already knows its plans,
which roads it is going to travel...

Lightning flashes inside my mind
sending volts of dangerous vibes...

We each have a blanket,
hand-knitted with love...

Herons in the lake
were rising from Winter's tide...

A frozen river,
stars weeping amidst the moon...

Beautiful lilies
weeping tears into the pond...

Hawk in the twilight
sadly takes flight from the sea...

My visit didn't last long,
and I was re-homed within the month...

My trainer cuddled into me,
as she poured her heart into my fur...

How could I have known
that you would never be back home again...

I'm running out of reasons to stay,
yet something makes it impossible...
