Home.
This day - the 23rd,
marks the day you left the earth.
A date now etched into your essence,
as the last trace of your presence.
You've melted back into the earth,
returned to soil, to nature's birth.
I find traces of you everywhere - in every corner I turn,
in every creature that crosses my path, yet you're the only one I yearn.
You were never just a pet, you were childhood itself,
now we're three, and your bowl gathers dust on the shelf.
Losing you feels like losing everything again,
as though I buried my faith with you, then.
The rain has wept where now you lie,
it's tears soaked deep from the grieving sky.
I hope it blesses where you sleep,
where roots now hold what we still keep.
I miss you more than words allow,
and though you're gone, you're with me now.
In peace, I hope you roam,
Forever loved. Forever home.
