A Grieving Traveler

I sat in a train again Without you... I sat with pain again Without you.. I wish you were there I wish to get back your stare I wish to share some words How I wished to look out of the window the same way as yesterday.. This journey that I start again Without you... This journey that I pause more often Without you... As there is no one to put a hand on My shoulder of disdain.. As there is no one to just make a  Harmless gesture of being insane.. How I wished to sip that cup of tea with a relentless life beyond the sea waiting to be free.. *Dedicated to my mom as she shares her feeling of loneliness after my dad passed away last year. They both used to love traveling together... * picture courtesy the author while she captures this on her train ride to  Carlisle, PA.

Dogs

Dogs greet,
everytime,
they meet,
they meet,
everytime,
like the first time,

pushing their,
wet nose against you,
to play,
everytime an urge to,
rush and stay..

while sleeping,
when aproached,
their tail,
would still keep dancing,
while digging their,
sniffs onto their toys,
they come to you,
all jumpy and pouncing,
with eyes seeking,
approvals...

They keep you protected,
in a manner like,
no one else,
they check if you are okay,
and follow you,
to a cave or,
a shabby mess..

They make requests,
which even though,
hit rejects,
doesn't end up,
reflecting stature,
rubbing themselves,
all over you,
they sit alongside,
as if they are,
always ready for the ride,
whenever...

If it's late,
They wait,
If it's hate,
They relate,
If it's tears,
They seek to distract..
Trust me,
At some point they do,
Have the power to read your mind..

They come to check,
On you at night,
They always acknowledge,
That you are right,
Your daughter just adores it's presence,
Even though more often they fight..
And while you walk ahead,
You will always find them behind..

I can go on and on..
But his toy is squeaking on my lap,
While his tail is wagging like a windy snap,
So while I storm out,
With 4 feet's running right after,
Share your abode with an animal and thank me later...
