Doodle By Jah

Backwards he walks watching them follow watching them borrow closed mindedness from life and words filled with need. The Face of a Dog In Tears...his thought Pain erases the eyes as life blinks Love shades the ears silenced The tongue wags. The tail sings peace. Joy the black and white German shepherd Even in color part black On white paper colored white Guided unleashed to a page too short Facing a line drawn wrong twice at a speed too forced leaning. Smudged whiskers mark a nose with no holes and an unapparent bark Barks pleased to roam lead unstreaked. Our needed comradery of course based on a friendship unmatched Is man's bestest pal unarmed? Word related checkmate minded Appeased to guide those whole souled by means of a simple sketch His hug foretold to hold even those Those that bite back fighting flesh Only to trace back time left And so he draws selflessness by heart in ways to unsleeve His love for those that time will not set.
