old dogs

old dogs fall asleep one day 
 free leash 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 write a memory
on the wings of the dream
 apologizing to the neighbor's cat...

old dogs on the departure 
have the dignity of angels...

gentle companions
receptacle of your sorrows
secret thinkers
patient philosophers...

expecting behind the door
poor chewy ball,lonely crying...

old dogs draw a strange touch of blank
on the white page of our illusions...
