It Is Time To Go

It is time to leave us now In life of passage we are blessed with an unspoken connection His destiny quivering in my hands as the decision lies heavy in my heart Just one more day before we must part? My eyes closed as I pluck up courage, reliving stories we created together with the passing of the physical being, that bond is never broken. His spirit stands in the morning sun a routine that left a patch of bygone fun His crippling body can no longer keep up with his childish manor It is time, passing on in a peaceful way He left calmly knowing my love, soft touch, whispering praise kindness embracing his slowing heartbeat. One last deep breath in, it leaves slowly, like a sigh of relief Goodbye dear friend, he left willingly under my command he is ready to go Goodbye to your body shackled heavy and cold to the ground Goodbye to your free spirit, lifting in an unexplained haze An unknowing journey, wherever that my go A tear of relief falls to the ground, a quiet sob in a silent moment the decision was made, we can sleep soundly now Dedicated to a pony called Charlie, who was in his 40’s retired from years of being an RDA pony.
