True Friend











My dog looks at me with questions in his eyes
I look back with an attempted smile,
he paws me with encouragement
I sit still staring up at the ceiling,
his nose nudges me to rise higher
my mind melts deeper into the dark abyss,
he gently rests his head on my lap
my hand absently pets him, absorbing peace

he nuzzles his warm body close to mine

I feel my spirit float above me
lifting the dark cloud into oblivion

My dog sits up to look with his knowing eyes

I look back and smile with gratitude.
