Ascension

                And if I go,
        while you're still here...
            Know that I live on,
     vibrating to a different measure
-behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
            You will not see me,
           so you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can soar together again,
         -both aware of each other.
   Until then, live your life to its fullest.
            And when you need me,
     Just whisper my name in your heart,
              ...I will be there.

Be Still.
I picked you up
so small and cheeky
I smiled and said, "Be still."

You dug holes in the yard
and slinked before me
I frowned and said, "Be still."

You took their ball
and led them on a merry chase
I chuckled and said, "Be still."

You looked up at me
wagging for a walk
I grinned and said, "Be still."

You warmed my feet
and wriggled as I read
I sighed and said, "Be still."

You aged and still
you jumped like a pup
I laughed and said, "Be still."

You watched me
for one last time
that tail wagged
the needle fell
I cried and whispered,
Be still.
