The trees hang over in shadow despite the sun's light the echolalia of Life's primal scream, absorbed within the green, as the tiny one drifts towards the dawn of hereafter a colossal abyss with the welcome of home through the parachute's promise for surely the heart of an animal that resonates truth, honor and reason, can enter without need for judgement. |

Perhaps I have misunderstood, but what I believe is that Scorpio was a dog or a cat or another kind of pet of yours. I can absolutely assure you that animals go to Heaven. Those who wish to, can call me as crazy as they like, but crazy I would be if I didn't receive and give daily sky and cloud and thought messages of love from and to my Flicka-horse, my Tigger-cat and my Daisy-dog in Heaven. I know they will be there at the gate to meet me when I die. My three babies and all the previous animals I had are all so lovable, and I am sure that particularly, my last 3 whom I had for many, many years, welcome all the new animals to Heaven and show them around, so if I have interpreted your poem correctly, your Scorpio is there with them, happy and contented and with lots of friends. However, I can understand the unbearable ache in your heart. One of my very few consolations when each of my last 3 babies died, Flicka at the age of 37½, Tigger at 15½ and Daisy at 14½ and those all human years, was that they didn't have to go through the separation anxiety that I did, and, if I am right in understanding that Scorpio was a pet of yours, neither did Scorpio. You and I are more able to take it, though it may not seem so to us, and we would certainly prefer the pain to be ours than theirs. Hugs and tears Owl |

I saw astrological signs and personal victories in this write. Scorpio passing leaves a secret garden, waiting to be found. It's always the best when different perspective emerge. Great write! |
