Empty spaces

Posted on by Margaret Anne

As I sit writing this the house is quiet, still
there are no leashes no collars hanging on the banister
there are no towels at the front door to wipe muddy paws
there are no water dishes to be filled.

We wrap our lives around them
every decision every choice made
creating patterns where they fit
feel happy feel safe.

And now, we’ve been left behind
to stare blankly into corners and out the window
to blink blink blink the tears back
to feel the ache of an empty space.

One week ago today, we said goodbye to our beautiful Zoey. She was smart, crazy, well-travelled and patient.

She will always be loved.
