Tides of Time
(for my trusted dog Alicia)
I long to return and find those days
when you walked by my side
such an elegant dog.
My thoughts full of dreams
journeyed into a multitude of worlds
where twilights and sunsets
painted our imagination
with gleams of paradise.
Silently we visited realms upon realms
known only to us both.
Time the thief who cuts away
the thread of happiness
the mind had build for itself
knows too well we can find
a castle in any situation or place.
As the sea pushes its waves
further and further with each tide
taking in its embrace the castle of sand
Time robs you in one instant
of the beautiful world which
warmed your heart.
But no frontiers will ever
hold the blissful moments
we together shared
somewhere perhaps in our mind
they rest hidden and silent
even the passing of age
could not stole them
the fragrance of their imprints
are still fresh in our mind.
Alicia my dearest companion
Did I not feel in my heart
every breath you took
and when in our eyes
a few tears we held
it was the love for
each other we felt.
I will never forget
the silent thoughts we shared
for a dog like you
I did not encountered before.
