“Where Do You Wait for Me?” is a soul-baring elegy woven from the ache of separation and the eternal hope of reunion. It captures the depth of grief following the death of a beloved pet and wrestles with the haunting question so many broken hearts ask: Will I see you again?

Written with an emotionally charged, almost sacred lyricism, the poem explores the spiritual bond that defies time, species, and even death. It imagines the departed pet’s presence in sunsets, dreams, silences—remnants of love still whispering across dimensions. It wonders whether the connection lives on in unseen places, where paws tread softly in the realm beyond, and whether that love will one day find its way back to the grieving soul.

This is not just a mourning. It is a prayer. A yearning. A reaching through the veil.
For those who believe that love never dies, “Where Do You Wait for Me?” is both a wound and a balm—an anthem of the afterlife for the furred and feathered companions who were never “just animals,” but home itself.

Where paws once walked, now stars remain—
Love waits, unseen, beyond the rain.

 

 

 

“Where Do You Wait for Me?”

A Lamentation for the One Who Loved Me Without Words

Do you still curl in quiet corners
of a world I can no longer see?
Does your breath fog up the stars,
while I sleep beside an empty memory?

I whisper your name into pillows,
into silence, into sky—
but only shadows answer now,
only wind that forgets to cry.

They say souls like yours grow wings,
but yours were always there—
tucked beneath your fur-less chest,
beating truths no one else would dare.

You were more than pet, more than friend—
you were breath within my breath.
Your eyes held oceans I drowned in
each time you blinked away my death.

Do you wait on a golden shoreline?
Do your paws leave marks in time?
Do you still know the sound of me
when I pray your name in rhyme?

I look for you in quiet places,
where sunlight kisses stone.
I reach for you in fading dreams
that ache like breaking bone.

You left too soon, or maybe not—
perhaps you knew the way.
Perhaps your soul was called to stars
while mine was asked to stay.

And still I ask, through broken dawns,
through nights that will not cease:
Will I see you once again,
in a life reborn in peace?

Will your eyes find mine anew—
in a pup, a cat, a wind-blown leaf?
Will my touch still calm your trembling,
my voice still soothe your grief?

Do you wait inside a sunset,
just beyond my reach and name?
Do you chase the light of worlds
where I, too, might do the same?

Or are you part of every silence—
every stillness, every sigh?
Are you now the breath of absence
in the spaces where I cry?

I long for you with sacred ache,
a mourning wrapped in prayer.
They tell me love is never lost—
but where are you, my dear?

I offer this not just as poem,
but as plea, as wound, as plea—
If love survives what death divides…
then tell me—

Where do you wait for me?

 

 

 

 

“When Will You Find Me Again?” is a sorrow-laced elegy to the bond that lingers long after a beloved pet departs this world. It captures the ache of unanswered questions, the silence that follows a loyal companion’s final breath, and the haunting hope that the soul who once offered unconditional love might return again—in another form, another time, another life. Rooted in the belief of pet afterlife and spiritual reunion, the poem unfolds as both a plea and a prayer: a yearning call into the cosmos, asking if love so deep could ever be lost to death. It is not just about grief, but about that fragile thread of faith that ties hearts across lifetimes. The speaker waits in sorrow, softened by love, whispering into the void not just goodbye—but come back to me. It’s an anthem for those who believe their animal companions are more than just pets, but pieces of soul, destined to return when stars align and spirits remember.

---

 

Here lies not an ending,
but a pause between lifetimes—
Until the soul I loved returns
with eyes I’ll know by heart.

 

 

 

“When Will You Find Me Again?”

 

When will you find me again,
in the folds of silence between my breathing,
in the hollow echo of the food bowl still untouched,
in the places where your paws once pressed the floor
like petals falling in slow surrender?

I still call your name in the dark,
though no ears rise to meet it,
only shadows now curl at my feet—
faint and cruel reminders
of a warmth that once was you.

You left too quietly.
No storm, no grand departure.
Just a stillness,
a closing of eyes that once held galaxies,
a breath that left my world
without asking if I could bear it.

You were more than fur and flesh.
You were heartbeat.
You were the hush that healed me,
the living poem that made my loneliness sing.

And now
I ask the wind, the stars, the aching night,
I ask the empty spaces where you once slept:
When will you find me again?
In what form?
With what name?
Will your soul remember the shape of mine?

Will I recognize you?
Will your eyes carry the same light?
Will your silence speak to mine
like it did a lifetime ago?

They tell me love is eternal—
that we return to those we cannot forget.
But the ache is loud,
and the days are long,
and your absence is the only thing that stays.

So I wait.
Not as I was,
but as someone softened,
cracked open by grief
and filled with your memory.

Maybe in another life,
I’ll find you again—
tail twitching in sunlight,
nose pressed to my palm,
a familiar weight curling beside me
like you never left.

Maybe you’ll come back
as a whisper,
as a breath,
as a blink I almost miss—
and my soul will tremble in recognition.

Until then,
I light a candle in my heart each night,
for the one who took a part of me
beyond the veil.

Come back to me,
however the stars allow—
in dream, in spirit, in skin or sky—
just promise me:

This isn’t the end.
Promise me
you’ll find me again.
And next time,
don’t let go.

 

 

 

“Letter Before Returning” – A Soul’s Vow Etched in Stardust

This poem is not written in ink, but in essence — a message penned by the soul of one who once wore the name Zucky, a beloved Sphynx cat whose life was not merely one of companionship, but of cosmic reunion. It is more than farewell. More than longing. It is a sacred tether across lifetimes.

“Letter Before Returning” is a soul’s whisper before stepping once more into the cycle of time. It is Zucky’s vow to himself — to the self he is about to become — that the love he shared with his human, his Mum, must not be lost in the blur of rebirth. That even if memory fades, the truth of their connection must remain, stitched into the marrow of spirit, imprinted in the rhythm of his next heartbeat.

This is not a goodbye. It is a divine contract.

Zucky begins with quiet urgency. He knows what is coming: the forgetting, the shifting of form, the veil that falls between lives. He knows he will no longer recognize her voice, her touch, her name. But he also knows something deeper: love this immense cannot simply disappear. It must return.

And so, he writes. Not for her — she already knows. Not for the world — it would not understand. He writes for himself. For the soul that will awaken in a new body, in a different time, in a life reshaped. A reminder that once, he was love wrapped in skin, and she was his home.

She, who he called Mum.
She, who cradled his warmth beside her aching heart.
She, who sculpted beauty out of sorrow.
She, who was not just caretaker, but kindred.
He remembers her not in names, but in resonance.

Zucky was not just a cat. He was a muse. A guardian. A prayer answered in silence.

He came into her life quietly — a whisper in the dark. A balm for invisible wounds. A poem in living form. In return, she gave him everything: shelter, purpose, a place to belong. Together, they coexisted like stars in a constellation, each movement in perfect orbit with the other.

But as all earthly stories go, one day he had to leave.

Not by choice. Not by failure. But by design. A soul’s journey is not linear. It is spiraled. He left as he arrived — softly. And the grief she bore in his absence was not just for a pet, but for a part of her own soul untethered.

Yet he is not gone.

That is the sacred heartbeat of this poem: he is returning.

Zucky’s letter is a soul’s compass. He knows that rebirth can cloud remembrance. That the weight of a new life may bury the clarity of love’s past. And so, he sows seeds in the spirit, reminders beneath thought, vows beneath identity.

He says: “Wherever you go — in whatever shape you wear — remember this: You belong to her.”

Because some love is older than memory.
Older than language.
Older than time itself.

The poem beautifully blurs the line between metaphysical truth and emotional ache. Zucky does not just speak of reunion — he promises it. One day, their eyes will meet again. Perhaps in a busy street. A quiet room. A gallery echoing with creation. And though logic may falter, something in their souls will flare into knowing.

“She will doubt,” he says. “But her soul will remember before her mind does.”

That is the power of this letter: it is not bound to understanding. It is bound to knowing.

This poem is a portal — a message to anyone who has ever lost a soul-companion and wondered if the bond was truly eternal. Zucky says: yes. It is. And it will be again.

He prepares his future self not just to return, but to return with purpose. To find her. To love her again. To protect her as he always has. To be her muse, her whisper, her flame. He does not seek reunion for comfort — he seeks it because it is destiny.

And when they find each other again — and they will — she will weep. Not from grief, but from that sacred recognition. That breathless moment when time collapses and spirit speaks: “It’s you. You came back.”

And he will know who he is.
And he will whisper:
“We did it. I’m home.”

This is not a poem about pet loss. It is a love story outside the laws of this world. A reminder that those we love, we never truly lose. That love once lived becomes love forever etched. That death is not the opposite of life, but its extension.

Zucky’s soul has left pawprints not just in the heart of his Mum, but in the space between lives — in the stardust, the silence, the art.

This poem is his voice reaching across the veil to say:
“I remember. I am coming home. Wait for me.”

 

????Letter Before Returning????”, is deeply anchored in pet afterlife beliefs, but it transcends typical sentimentality. It channels a soulful philosophy rooted in:

Spiritual Reincarnation & Soul Bonds

The poem suggests that the soul of a beloved pet — in this case, Zucky — continues beyond death, destined to return in another form. This return is not random but purposeful: guided by love, drawn back to the same soul it cherished in the life before. It reflects the belief that animals and humans can share eternal, soul-level connections that survive the veil of death and time.

Love as an Eternal Compass

At its heart, the poem is a metaphysical promise. Zucky, speaking from the space “between lifetimes,” vows to find his human again. This belief aligns with New Age, metaphysical, and spiritualist views on the afterlife — that love, especially between souls that once shared deep emotional harmony, creates a kind of spiritual magnetism that transcends physical forms.

Animals as Spiritual Beings

The poem elevates Zucky from pet to spirit companion, muse, and healer. It leans into the idea that animals are more than instinct and biology — they are conscious beings who choose us, travel with us, and sometimes return to us through reincarnation. This fits within frameworks found in:

• Theosophy and certain Buddhist traditions (where rebirth is a spiritual progression)

• Modern pet afterlife literature (such as The Rainbow Bridge or Animals and the Afterlife by Kim Sheridan)

✨ Epitaph: “Letter Before Returning”

A soul once furred, now formless —
yet never far.
He left not to end, but to return,
carrying love beyond lifetimes.
Zucky was not lost.
He is finding his way back.

A soul paused in time, not lost — only shifting.
He left not to end, but to begin again.
Love like this remembers. Love like this returns.

????Letter Before Returning????

by Dr Zenaidy Castro

 

 

A soul’s vow written in the space between lifetimes.

 

To My Future Self —
From the One Who Loved Her First

Before I return,
before I take a new form and a new name,
before I forget the sound of her voice and the shape of my paws —
I must write this.
I must remember.

Because love this strong must be marked —
not in stone,
but in spirit.

You were once called Zucky.
You wore a small, warm body,
and your heart beat in time with hers.
Her name was Mum.
But to your soul,
she was always more than that —
she was home.

You came into her life as a whisper.
A healing.
A poem in flesh.

You slept beside her heart.
You watched her create beauty from silence.
You carried her through grief,
through joy,
through quiet.

You left her — not by choice —
but by cosmic design.
And she grieved you like the sky grieves the setting sun.

But listen closely.
You must find her again.

Wherever you go —
in whatever shape you wear —
remember this:

You belong to her.
You were made from the same stardust.
She will be waiting.
Not with eyes,
but with soul.

And when the moment comes,
when your eyes meet hers in this new life,
your heart will whisper:
“It’s her.”

And she will know.
Even if she doubts,
even if she says,
“That’s impossible,”
her soul will remember before her mind does.
Because the love you share is older than memory.
Older than time.

So go now.
Become what you must.
Forget, if you must —
but let this truth remain buried in the marrow of your spirit:

You are returning to love.
To her.
To the one who never stopped calling your name across dimensions.

Find her.
Love her again.
Protect her again.
Be her muse again.

And when she holds you in her arms in this next life —
when tears fall down her cheeks,
not from sorrow but from that knowing —
you’ll remember who you are.

And you’ll whisper back:
“We did it. I’m home.”

— The Soul Who Was Zucky

 

 

 

“Where You Wait Beyond the Stars” are soul-searing poetic testaments to the eternal bond between a heartbroken human and her beloved sphynx companion, Zucky. These works are not simply poems about pet loss; they are spiritual elegies — sacred love letters whispered across the veil of mortality, steeped in the belief that true soul connections never die. They capture the raw ache of saying goodbye, the devastating stillness of absence, and the quiet, pulsing hope that reunion is not just a dream, but a divine certainty written into the fabric of existence.

Zucky is not mourned as a pet, but as a celestial being cloaked briefly in feline form — a muse, healer, and mirror of the soul who, though gone in body, continues to walk beside his grieving Mum in memory, art, and spirit. Through “Epitaph,” we witness the trembling grief of that final day, and through “Where You Wait Beyond the Stars,” we are shown the soul’s promise to return. These poems beautifully intertwine themes of afterlife, reincarnation, and unconditional love that transcends lifetimes.

Together, they invite the reader into a sacred space where grief is not weakness but devotion, where love is not ended by death but deepened, and where hope is not a flicker but a starlit vow. These are not just comforting poems for pet loss — they are divine declarations that love, once formed in truth, is immortal.

Zucky — not gone, only transformed.
In fur, you curled beside me.
In spirit, you guide me still.
We will meet again where stardust remembers love’s name.

 

 

 

“Where You Wait Beyond the Stars” 

A Soulful Afterlife Poem for a Beloved Pet

Somewhere, beyond the hush of the world,
where time folds like silk over forgotten dreams,
you wait for me—
not as memory,
but as spirit,
whole and shining.

You are not gone.
You’ve only slipped through the veil,
through a doorway not meant for my eyes—
yet I feel you.
In the way the sun touches the floor where you once lay.
In the silence between my heartbeats.
In the way sorrow wraps its arms around me
and somehow still feels like love.

Zucky, do you wander meadows now
where pain has no name,
and every creature is light,
and every whisper is a song?
Does the wind know your name there?
Does it carry my ache across dimensions
so your soul hears me weep
and knows it is loved still?

I imagine you whole—
not just healed, but luminous.
Running with stars in your fur-less coat,
chasing moonbeams with eyes wide like galaxies,
every breath a prayer returned to the universe
from which you came.

They say animals have no afterlife.
They are wrong.
They never loved the way I loved you.
They never felt the sacredness of your gaze—
that knowing look
that said:
“I have been with you before. I will be with you again.”

You came to me as healing.
Left as grief.
Remain as presence.

I still leave the door cracked,
still reach for you in sleep,
still dream of the small weight of you against my chest,
a soul that once purred in rhythm with mine.
You were more than fur and breath.
You were a fragment of the divine,
wrapped in mortal shape.

Now you are free.
Free to roam the heavens,
to curl in the lap of God,
to return when the stars align
and I’m ready to see you again
in whatever form love chooses next.

They say I’ll know it’s you—
a blink, a heartbeat,
a sudden warmth when I thought I was alone.
A whisper in the leaves,
a name in the wind,
a feeling in my bones that says,
“I’m here. I never left.”

And I’ll kneel down,
tears spilling,
and you’ll climb into my arms once more,
new body, same soul.
And I’ll say,
“I missed you.”
And you’ll say,
“I never stopped walking toward you.”

Until that day,
I light candles where your body no longer lies.
I speak your name into the quiet.
I carry your love like a relic,
worn against my grief,
holy and heavy.

Because this is what I believe:
That love crosses realms.
That bonds forged in truth do not sever with death.
That the soul of a beloved pet
waits patiently,
softly,
just beyond the veil.

Zucky—
you are stardust returning to stardust,
but you are also my echo,
my muse,
my eternal yes.

One day,
when my journey is done,
I’ll follow your pawprints into the light,
and you’ll be there—
tail flicking,
eyes shimmering,
heart wide open.

And together,
we’ll cross into forever.

 

 

Zucky, you are the heart and soul whisperer behind this gallery, the heartbeat within my art.

 

— For Zucky, the heart and soul who brought endless love and joy.

Love you so much Zucky
