Martha ♥️ Twelve quiet months have slipped away, Since I kissed your velvet head that day. I miss twirling your silky ears. Your bark still echoes in my soul.
I see you laying in the garden & I see flashes of black for just a few seconds. I feel you move upon our bed.
Where letting go has proven hard.
Yet through the sadness and the tears,
I smile recalling all our wonderful years.
You taught my heart a deeper grace,
And left a bright, untethered space.
Your collar hangs, your leash is still,
But your warm spirit always will.
I am deeply honored knowing you spent the rest of your life with me.”
Rest softly in the life I live,
For all the boundless love you’d give.

I carry your heart with me (i carry it in)
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart) i am never without it anywhere i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)
