As a pup, I have strange powers…

As a pup, I have strange powers…

Sometimes I can hear you sighing…
As if your heart is about to break…
The loneliest kind of lonely…
Everything tainted with doubt.

Sit next to me, and let me saturate you with my warmth…
Be a reflection for you of your celestial light…
Help you refasten your armor…
Remind you of the miracle of air that we have been given to breathe.

I am always here!
I’ve been schooled in the ways of the sea…
Her depths filled with tears of sadness and joy…
Giving life a smooth oily texture.

Around you right now are so many angels of light…
Your silhouette cut from their glow…
Follow the light globes and remember to stay away from the dark…
Because carnivores own the night!

I will take you from the gate of sadness to the gate of joy…
Follow the trail with my wonderful snout…
Show you the islands in the rivers of grass…
And turn your sighs into laughter.

I love you,

Annie
