And with a blink of an eye
you are one with the sky
reminding us of how fragile,
we are…
and that time
only exists when you actually live
in the moment
for tomorrow, we all become stardust.

Enchanted Rain
So many memories,
fall like enchanted rain,
of another time, another place…
When you held my hand, and hugged me,
cupped my little face, in your palms…
and now as I stare at the clear skies,
waiting with the deep blue ocean,
as the wind blows by,
I hug you in my heart…
hoping, my hand will reach your soul.

Memories of Yesterday
Words we don’t say
And though days go by
without a single mention of your name
you are there…
in words we don’t say…
at the grocery store
when our feet takes us to the pet isle
as if it has forgotten its way,
just to remember this squeaky dog toy
will no longer be yours;
when we miss
our best greeter
to love us with slobbery kisses and barks…
when we close our eyes
and hold on to the memories a little tighter
for they alone heal
this heavy feeling in our hearts.
You are there, everywhere…
for the love we hold
goes beyond the distance we share…
and you my dear Oreo are loved
in earth or in heaven…
Happy Birthday!

This would have been Oreo’s 15th Birthday. We all miss him very much, this is the first birthday he celebrates in heaven and we send him eternal kisses and hugs. We love you!
Grief
And though their meeting was brief,
the grief of parting
remained for a lifetime
in her heart.

Rain
In quiet nights
when the heart rains…
with cloud of grief,
we know as pain…
silently falling,
against the mind…
and no space,
is enough to hide…
you know,
cause you have tried…
so you just lie,
under the moon,
and drift with the tune,
of the melancholic heart,
as it rains.
