To The Stars

A part of me went to the stars yesterday. A piece of my heart went to Orion. 

I held her head in my hands. My tears wetted her cheeks and ears. She didn't want to go inside. She didn't want to lay down.

 I said, "baby relax,  It will be OK baby,  Just relax."

Tears flowed from my eyes like a flooded stream. 

" tell her you love her" he said.
"You're going to doggie heaven Jezebel"...

My tears fell on her face and neck as I stroked her soft fur. "I love you baby,  I love you Jezebel"
She closed her eyes and went to sleep.
As I sat on the floor next to her and leaned my back to the wall. A part of me left this earth. I saw a piece of my heart go to the stars.

A solitary particle of light ascended to Orion.

My best friend of 15 years is gone,  maybe tomorrow I won't cry.
