Timah

I guess you guys know from the tag cloud that one of the biggest is ‘Timah’, one of my awesome friends who isn’t on chat often. I have thought of an ingenious and cunning solution! Every day she isn’t online/talking to me I’ll send her a picture with a funny comment. The picture is going to be something along the lines of a lolcat or another equally funny and pointless photo.
It begins today!

The Spirit of a Greyhound

Spirit of a grey hound.

 

I was standing on a hillside

 

In a field of blowing wheat,

And the spirit of a greyhound

Was lying at my feet.

He looked at me with kind dark eyes,

Ancient wisdom shining through

In the essence of his being,

I saw such love there too.

His mind locked upon my heart

As I stood there on that day,

And he told me of his story

About a place so far away.

As I stood upon that hillside

In a field of blowing wheat,

In a twinkling of a second

His spirit left my feet.

His tale put my heart at ease;

All my fears did fade away

About what lay ahead of me

On another distant day.

“I live among God’s creatures now

In the heavens of your mind,

So do not grieve for me my friend,

As I am with my kind.

My collar is a rainbow’s hue;

My leash a shooting star.

My boundaries are the Milky Way

Where I sparkle from afar.

There are no pens or kennels here

For I am not confined.

But I’m free to roam God’s heavens

Among the greyhound kind.

I nap the day on a snowy cloud,

Gentle breezes rocking me,

And dream the dreams of earthlings,

And how it used to be.

The trees are full of  liver treats,

And tennis balls abound,

And milk bones line the walkways

Just waiting to be found.

There is even a ring set up,

The grass all lush and green;

And everyone who gaits around

Becomes the best of the breed.

For we’re all winners in this place;

We have no faults ,you see.

And God passes out those ribbons

To each one, even me.

I drink from waters laced with gold,

My world a beauty to behold;

And wise old dogs form my pride

To amble at my very side.

At night I sleep in an angel’s arms,

Her wings protecting me,

And moonbeams dance about us

Just as stardust falls on thee.

So when your life on earth is spent

And you stand at Heaven’s gate,

Have no fear of loneliness-

For here, you know, I wait.”
