Meditations on some wonderful relationships with animals, one very special Samoyed named Bear in particular, and thoughts on whether the divine souls of the animals we love live on. Words and images shared at blog.amynelsonhahn.info
Smile at last
(for Bear)
Hard to recall
the many awkward moons
we slipped in and out
of snowy streets --
where you used to be sure-footed
the intervening years had come between
and all we could manage
was to amble brightly along,
white against white,
hoping you'd rise again
unimpeded.
Now it's never so easy
to smile at half-hearted
smiling shadows,
or at a world so green,
the sun so precise
that only their thin resemblances
can find us pleased with you
once more.
