I see the wild in your eyes
The deep soul in you
Swimming in pools of indigo blue
Like a dark ocean just before the dawn
Glistening
Here inside my head
Whispering breath of wind
Draws me closer and closer to the wild
I lost touch with as a child
The agony of the loss that dogged me
Fifty long years
Suddenly disappears
When I feel this rush
And as you gaze at me with
Animal eyes so wild
I become yet again
Supple
Tender
With the heart of a child
That loves and aches
And dances and cries
Without ever needing to ask
The question
Why?

It was 7 years ago… which makes me missing him sound silly to a lot of people, but when I think of him it still makes me so sad. I think the main thing was that we’d left it too long, we should have let him go sooner because we he struggling too much towards the end and that’s something that always sticks with me and I feel guilty about.

Noo Caz its not silly at all. You know when I had by breast cancer surgery I cried for about two days solid. I was told by nursing staff that often coming out of general anaesthetics people cry, this nurse told me about someone who was crying about their dog and she said oh how long ago did he die and the person answered 10 years..
Don’t feel too guilty though… you did the best at the time… suffering is just a part of life that said I should not really tell you not to feel as you do… I just know you are a very kind person and would never intentionally want to cause any living thing harm. Big hugs for you darling xoox
