Because we all want to write more poems.
THE GUIDE DOG SAYS GOODBYE
The Guide Dog survives
Being younger and
Smaller than depicted
The Guide Dog lived a lesser life
Eating the uncaring love
Of the blind one
The cleansing of the glass eye
Glimpsed once in a mirror
By a quiet dog
The Always Walk on the
Arm of sworn to protect
Sometimes at night
The Guide Dog turned off
All the lights
And walked the house
By memory and feel
Hoping to run into
The meaning of life
Waiting unconsciously
For the next twitch of the tether
As natural as rain
Cold rain
Until the end
The clouds part
The blind one leaves
Never saying a word
As natural as rain
Cold rain
The Guide Dog survives
