| A friend of mine— Shared a snapshot of
 His Recently departed
 German Shepherd
 And I fastened
 To the glossed-edged
 Pictured canine.
 His eyes gleamed
 Life-full,
 Open mouth panting
 A happy time and
 My mind committed the
 Image to memory,
 Captured the
 Magnificence of this
 Creature to heart,
 And later as I drifted off
 In a doze,
 I saw the iridescence
 Of his eyes
 Burn like a roaring wind
 afire… intrigue in
 Its gaze,
 mysterious noir,
 Subdued and yet free for
 In my trance I came to
 Know his haunts and
 His un-tethered roams
 Spread wide devoid of
 Everything ephemeral and
 I realized his great forever,
 Always pure and
 Wonderful, arching in the
 Flash through
 Hours of darkness,
 Fetching the moon then
 Twinkling each star
 With the gentlest touch of
 His paws, reveling
 In supernal delight as
 I whimpered softly my dream
