she was the wind
swift and silent
a blur to the eye
a shadow of existence
the heart of nature
enticed by the smell
triggered by the site
movement without thought
beauty in the sunlight
whether running or standing still
the golden glow of her coat
the shimmering essence of her soul
pure mindful instinct
to see a thousand miles
to be every step every leap
to fly across the world
to stop..stand still..listen
to peer into the future
to see what we could not
to know beyond our understanding
to look into her eyes
deep brown and endless
to see into her soul
and want to go there
to feel the silk of her
to melt into her hugs
to lean together in the breeze
to become one with the wild
goodbye my friend
my lover of the wind
come home someday
and let me see you again....
