Goodbye Is Never Easy
I am mostly trying to be okay,
but am not gonna lie,
inside
I’m chaotically falling apart
and not ready to say good-bye,
or be alone. . .
I awoke in my tent on the Corsican coast at three in the morning with a compelling need to write this down. At the time I thought it was in response to an email I’d received from the woman I very much loved telling me she doesn’t love me anymore. However, as I would tragically learn, my beloved twelve year old Labrador, Zar, died peacefully at that time back home in New Mexico under my daughter’s care. I now know it was Zar’s soul that had awakened mine to say goodbye on his way to his new journey and this was my soul’s response.
