Sorrow

Sorrow

seeps in around

the edges

of things

pools in corners

gazes out at the

world

with uncomprehending

eyes.

sorrow

settles in the

bones

soft

dove grey

feathers.

resides in spaces

unfilled

like a vessel filling

with pure

clear

water.

 

and

outside

the sun is shining

life continues

loss

an ordinary part of our

day

Our dear friend’s dog, Willa crossed over yesterday. Everyone who knew her was blessed by her big heart, her courage and, most of all, her spunk!
