old dogs

old dogs fall asleep one day
leadless to eternity...
does it exist a paradise
rewarding their loyalty ?
old dogs suffer in silence
before reaching their ultimate
home of compassion...
old dogs leave so much love
in the morning bowl
in the sunset stroll...
old dogs take the life vacate
on the wings of dream
to the neighbor's cat
apologizing...
old dogs on departure
have the dignity of angels...
you, gentle companions
memory in the walls
expectancy behind the door
poor chewy ball
slowly crying...
receptacle of your sorrows
secret thinkers
patient philosophers
drawing a strange touch of  blank
on the white page of your illusions...
