That Ghost-Eyed Dog

Do you remember that ghost-eyed dog 
on the beach who always came so close 
to hunt us with her love?

She became one with the waves now,
washing away our hues and shades, 
blessing the wet sand with her running paws.

She is so far away now, 
her piercing blue eyes seeking for the unknown
pursuing the echo of our long-lost love song.

I’d like to believe 
that it is its vibrations that keep her alive.
And no one can tell what will happen 
when all the voices die away.


(...will she ever come back to find us?)

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
