Life is a climb through rough terrain or a serene journey on a flowing river. It's an obstruction run in one phase and a quiet walk by a lake in another. It sinks to the bottom of the well one season and reaches the highest peak in a new one. Life carries on with joy and love of others but the constant reminder that nothing is forever leaves us feeling alone. This blog is to share stories of the lives of characters I have developed while contemplating on life's great journey.

True Friend
My dog looks at me with questions in his eyes
I look back with an attempted smile,
he paws me with encouragement
I sit still staring up at the ceiling,
his nose nudges me to rise higher
my mind melts deeper into the dark abyss,
he gently rests his head on my lap
my hand absently pets him, absorbing peace
he nuzzles his warm body close to mine
I feel my spirit float above me
lifting the dark cloud into oblivion
My dog sits up to look with his knowing eyes
I look back and smile with gratitude.
