Blog of the Day -- July 16, 2005

I have waited, and wondered, how I will write of the loss of Cordie and Gizmo, our two Akitas. Now I know:

Half an hour before sunrise
while the moon still reigns supreme
I wait

Half an hour before sunrise
while the birds tuck sleepy heads
beneath their wings
I wait

Half an hour before sunrise
while the long night lengthens
in triumph
I wait

Half an hour before sunrise
you are gone and will never return
and yet forever will
I wait
