Dog Chases Tail
“Dogs have many lessons to teach to man.”- By Author
**************************************************************
Dog Chases Tail
Dog chases its tail in a playful dance
To catch it once, a forlorn blue moon chance,
Yet in joyful spirit, pursues its try
Never drops the gauntlet or becomes shy.
It twirls, twists and turns to dispel dullness
Relieve spells of boredom and dreariness,
Often times, to convey its eagerness
Or to seek its master`s care and kindness.
Quite often, in the chase, it tumbles down,
But again, it soon rises with a frown
In the proximate surround with delight
With its tail glowing with the sparks of light.
On goes the hunt with the shine of fervour,
With the same glow of ardour and rigour
Until it pants, with tail held high with pride
To resume afresh when low is the tide.
Whether the chase is a familiar quest
Or stems from the very depth of its breast
Is a dark mystery yet to unveil,
But reveals a strong spirit that prevails.
Likewise, man oft pursues dreams hard to reach,
A dog`s chase of its tail may lessons teach
To don oneself garbs of perseverance,
To cloak on the mantle of endurance.
It teaches man to rise after a fall
Ever to keep the spirit strong and tall,
However dark, may be one`s present plight
To view one`s surround with gleams of delight.
It delivers lessons to urge the sky,
Seeking the Master`s divine grace up high
For His kind considerate attention
And to implore His sublime affection.
