Fallen leaves like so many memories

drift restless around my feet.

Forgotten promises hold shadows

from the past. Distant clouds

mimic bricks in a wall and I know I

can no longer reach you.

Thank you Wordman, I don't

Thank you Wordman, I don't think I will ever get over his loss, a dog yes, but so unlike any other, he was my inspiration, my muse and he still is. His coat was the gold of Autumn leaves and he could 'disappear' at this time of year while wandering through them.
