Rainbows and Bridges

[huronna]

The veil is to be lifted again
in the passing of two more
October nights

will you visit me then
while the border is thin
give me lost kisses
and talk to me about
rainbows and bridges

stories will you tell of
running through green fields
jumping into sunlit blue skies
in warmth without pain or age
slowing you down

of your brothers and sisters
and all of the treats
wrestling matches in flower beds
stealing petals to stash
and butterflies to chase

come visit me even
in my dreams and
tell me
you are safe
tell me
you are happy

and let me speak
of missing you
best buddy
of loving you

come visit me
if you are able
while the borders are down
and magic fills the night
electric with
celebrations of your lives

I will look for you
in the stars
that dance
in the moon as She gazes
upon us with Grace

you always shone so bright
Little Boy in my heart
you shine on
forever.

for my ferret, Little Boy Sid
