Dream Reality

It is one of those works in
progress, the healing of a 
sorrowful heart. And time is
working on it. Its healing distance
yet to fully make its mark. They
were just two very small dogs
yet their constant presence in
our lives were so vital and
profound their absence has left
little solace to be found in the
distance of time. Dreams recur
where we desperately search
for them in our anxiety to
take them home again before
some dread misfortune befalls
those little creatures so dependent
on us for life and upon whom we
were so dependent to bring
unalloyed joy to our lives.
