Best friend

sorenbarrett

A dog cries with its eyes

mirrors that reflect what resides inside

No tears to express its fears

without words no emotion does it hide

 

No lies in its sighs

Millennia of companionship supplies

it hears with a seer's ears

suffering or jubilation for us it cries

 

In fur bearing angel guise it complies

under hairy hide it's shining pride

sharing sneers and jeers

to demon or angel unquestioning loyalty does provide

 

Allies until the day it dies

by a cold hand left tied outside

Its years in a flash disappears

from life too soon untied
