In silence walks the heart when love abounds
The soft tender footsteps of knowing we are on sacred ground
No harsh words, no cruel actions – only love.
And love, when letting go, lets go just as softly
Even though the tears fall.
For the time he has been in my world, I have been honoured with that love so gentle and soft
For his passing I grieve with a heart that feels crushed and broken
For his sake I will let go softly bowing my head in gratitude and love
Knowing in the silence that he is here always – no matter what
For the ground he walked and the ground of his heart was sacred indeed
And the world he created was love.

There is no love as pure and gentle as the love we share with our animal friends: they give and accept that love unconditionally; and our lives are blessed by the time in which they share this world with us.
ReplyDeleteAnd the pain of losing those we love is always beyond words; but the gentleness of your sweet weaving of words here is, as ever, beautiful and tender. For all Daedelus has moved on, and lives on in another way, he'll also live on forever in happy memories, and that warm cosy place he'll always have in your heart.
Your sweet poem is so beautiful, as always, and kind and gentle, and there could be no more fitting tribute than that.

Ian,
ReplyDeleteThank you. There is a part of me thinking that I should not yet respond - I am raw and a bit unfocused because of it. I deeply miss His Furry Four Paws and, well, I'm sure I always will. And, yes, he's tucked away and snuggled down in my heart. So, I do thank you - for your words, empathy and kindness.
