I am not sure.
Never was, no, never again to be.
A mistake of mine, perhaps,
pulled from a long forgotten memory.
Did I really see?
I could swear it was her there.
My childhood pet, gone so long.
The lines of reality blurred in my eyes.
Sweet little dog, yes,
my dearest confidante.
I cried, ready to believe
that she had been returned to me.
She heard me
as she always had in life.
Came to me, placed her head in my hands.
A feeling of comfort, of relief.
I sat with her a while
spilling my soul on the ground.
A time when I needed her the most,
she was there.
All I know is, I slept.
And awoke far later, alone once more.
I ask myself, is this imaginary?
But the comfort was beyond the realm of dreams.

This is such an emotion filled poem. Pets become part of the family, and I can relate to the love you had for your dog.
You express your experience so well in this poem, and I especially like:
"She heard me
as she always had in life.
Came to me, placed her head in my hands.
A feeling of comfort, of relief.
I sat with her a while
spilling my soul on the ground.
A time when I needed her the most,
she was there."
Thank you for entering this contest, and good luck!
