Loss

[Angharad]

Any kind...

[BellaG]

At home in your arms

Joy fades to loss when you leave

Emptiness warns me

[Angharad]

she has slipped away...
running free in sun-warmed fields
now forever young

I love you, Suzan, my sweet colleen. I pray you've been reunited with all you love who've gone before. Kiss and snuggle Landseer, Booty, Itty, Morning Glory, and Ruari for me; but, save the biggest kiss and hug for yourself. And, of course, one fantastic golfcart ride.ツ I'll miss you terribly every day for the rest of my life.

[Angharad]

it's almost 2 years
since i last heard your sweet laugh...
tears come to my eyes

dog and butterfly
i hope you're flying with them
high up in the air

no longer burdened
no more sorrow, loss, or fear...
just sunshine and joy

I heard this today--one of your favorite songs and one that you sent me many years ago. It's you to me. So sweet, so funny, always trying to do the right thing,wanting to be free while craving connection. I love you and miss you Suzan. So very much. ❤️❤️❤️

Nice to hear from you again. Sorry for your loss. I was trying to put together a Dog and Butterfly haiku to post here, but it never came together.

[Angharad]

Your kind words are better than any haiku. Thank you, PTB!  

I've been around the whole time--dropping a haiku here and there, playing a word game or two--I just don't visit as frequently as I had for many years. Glad you're still here!! Post a haiku whenever you feel like it--they're always a pleasure to read.

Will do, as inspiration strikes. I too, am not here often enough.
