The Silhouette
by
Teiri Onorato 1/18/92
The silhouette stands boldly
at the end of the hallway,
ears erect, eyes like jewels.
The tail, it softly sways.
This wouldn't be the first time
I've seen him stand nearby,
his image clear as crystal,
from the corner of my eye.
His visits I don't share with some
whi think I've gone over and beyond
The grieving time they deem I need,
They say I should move on.
I sometimes pity people who
have never felt just cause
to share the bond between two souls,
one with hands and one with paws
The silhouette reminds me
what the others say is wrong,
for as long as breath goes through me
there existsour mighty bond.
When the Keeper calls me home
and the Bridge gates open wide
our bond will deepen ten fold
as we walk through side by side
You see, I am the lucky one,
as I've been truly blessed
for someday we'll walk together
as eternal
