Ode to a Life

The night is almost at an end.

The new born sun starts it’s ascend.

The last jet streams fade in the wind.

The colors which my soul depends.

My spirit soars with the new light.

Horses now chew dew powdered grass.

Life giving birds demand release,

Feared no more by the night’s demons.

I run, my view on that fair sky

Though the tree’s silhouette leaves try

With their mass to glory defy

And my dog, he runs by my side

The run is done, the mind is clear

The tree’s have lost, the sky has won

All heaven reigns loose upon this life

While my dog, he rests by my side

That day went on like other days

Yet had I known, I would have saved

Both him and all the tears I cried

For while I worked my dog, he died

It was a car he climbed into.

But child ran past and closed the door,

Unaware that our sun gives life,

Inspires life, and brings it to end.

The day was done, the sun had set.

Tears rose ornamenting the stars.

The dog, he rests in the cold earth,

While his greatness runs through my mind.
