TWILIGHT
(a tribute to Molly, a good Border Collie)
by Luan Egan, 2010
The Fall season is upon us.
Leaves flash crimson, then drop to nourish new life.
In the twilight of an old dog’s day, I sit beside her feeble form
I watch her dream of balls and sheep.
I reflect on what has gone before,
How lucky I was that she found me;
She changed my life.
The start of this journey,
Full of vibrant energy and enthusiasm
All the things we worked through, together.
Soon, too soon
She will be lost to my touch
As she moves beyond my existence
Forever into the realm of dreams.
Soon, too soon
I will have only my memories
To comfort me, to remind me
Of how special she is, what she means to me.
The time is approaching old friend,
To say goodbye
That’ll do, one last time
Until we meet again, in that realm of dreams.,
Watch for me.
