in sight you’ll find
a forever light
glowing, maybe calling your name
leaving a space to wrap yourself up in
cozy, warm
silent

I stared at the book all night
without the nerve to open it
the title, “Your Future”
seemed far too foreboding
far too reckless
maybe another time

the heat lifted
and a cool breeze swept the room
the too quiet room
once solitude
once peaceful
now dark with loneliness

ashes to ashes
ghost to ghost
the chill of the night called me home
but I couldn’t find my way
lost in the night
lost in life

finally opening the book
I found only blank pages
Peace, Love.

    I found only blank pages
    to write your future! and boy can you write!!
    I feel your loneliness,
    when our doggie is not there we are truly alone.
    I hope the glow of puppy love comes around soon,
    wraps you right up in warmth
    and leaves puppy paw prints all over the blank pages
    of your future :D
