I still hear you in the quiet-
In the soft thump of a memory
crossing the hallway of my chest.
Your leash hangs like a question
no one can answer,
and the sun still lands
in your favourite spot on the floor
as if its waiting for you to curl into it.
Heaven must be made of open fields,
because you were never meant for small spaces.
I picture you running-
ears flying,
eyes bright,
no pain in your step, just wind and forever.
Do you still do that thing
where you look back
to make sure I'm following?
Because I am-
in every dream,
in every year I pretend is just the rain.
You took a piece of my heartbeat
when you left,
but left your warmth
stitched into my days-
in the way I say your name
like a prayer
in the way of love
still sits beside me
even though you're gone.
Somewhere beyond the clouds
there's a trail with our footprints-
yours in paws
mine in longing-
and I know one day
you'll come racing toward me again,
like no time has passed at all.
Until then,
stay in the sky,
chasing endless light-
and when I feel the sudden warmth
against my cheek,
I'll know ..
Its you,
finding me.
