They say the closer you get to passing
The more those who have already gone come to find you
There is a difference
Between dreaming about someone
And them actually being there
Between dreaming about your pet
And them actually being there
Their smell
Their aura
The touch
Is real
Their voice or bark suddenly wakes you
You see them in your peripheral vision
Or a sudden shining, smiling face appears right in front of you
The dog on your lap
Or at your feet
As they always used to be
Like a time-slip
It feels like time doesn’t exist anymore
You’re inbetween the worlds
And if it’s your time, you’re ready to go.
