Guarding

Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.  ~Roger Caras

Eclipse

Black pupils dilating
Green rays radiating
Streaks across
Deep blue skies
Such explains your eyes
The windows of your soul
Where no man has dared to go
And wherein a solar system lies
Strange and undiscovered
And many starry secrets
Remain to be uncovered
Within your eyes.

No, do not talk; but let us rather seize
This intimate gift of silence which we know.
Others may guess your thoughts from what you say,
As storms are guessed from clouds where darkness broods.

Time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way

Sleeping

Sleeping with your Dog

Now I lay me down to sleep,
The king-size bed is soft and deep.
I sleep right in the center groove
My human beings can hardly move!
