A Love That Never Strays
Though we will never meet
she enters my dreaming mind
walks into a room for two
and I know she is mine forever.
Guardian angel, Guardian Goddess,
Guardian reader?
Nope, she's a dog,
a saggy jowled Blood Hound
I name Betty.
We walk the wooded ways,
we spend the days in any weather,
alone with nature.
One day she will be human
and maybe I the dog,
so until we are put down
or raised up
we will travel side by side,
then perhaps
we will reincarnate together,
as real as any Disney cartoon
only better.
