Cosmic Dog From Goa

My final time with God Happened a year latter I was staying down in Goa With my wife Enjoying being with her After our reconciliation We stayed at the Taj Mahal Goa Living like Kings and Queen Just for a few days High up on a hill Overlooking the beach Every morning I went down to the beach And did yoga by the water While contemplating life And every morning I saw the same dog Not just a dog But a cosmic dog Filled with the divine spark of God And the dog recognized me And spoke to me and I knew That God was present once more In the face of the that cosmic dog Kindred spirit perhaps to the cosmic cat that had save my soul in Berkeley so long ago I told the dog everything And he just looked at me With those soulful eyes of his And I knew he knew that I knew That he was possessed by God God had sent him to me To make sure that I was on the right path That the reconciliation that God had promoted Was on track that I was back with my wife And that everything was the way it should be Again I asked God whether he was Jesus or Allah Or Brahmin or Ganesh or Buddha God the cosmic dog just stared at me I finally asked him directly Say if you are God the God of Jesus Bark once The Dog looked at me and barked I said well if you are Allah bark twice The dog barked twice Well are you buddha then bark three times if yes The god dog barked three times Hmm well are you Satan The dog growled at me And I knew I had gone too far Finally I was at peace And for the next three days The God Dog was my constant companion And I knew God for the final time In my life
