PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I think I hear someone crossing on to the other side

A soft whisper of gently taken steps

The slow progress of someone cautious and afraid

Their curiosity too strong....they must make their way across the great divide

Their longing has brought them closer to the rattling bones

Perhaps there is a thing to fill their need here, or a hunger in their soul

I feel someone approaching coming up from behind

Perhaps there is a scent here that draws them ever closer

As I lay dozing with chicken leg in hand

My dog has come a nosing from across that terrifying land

That fearful thing on which she slides....linoleum

Her never ending search to fill her empty belly

Gave her courage to reach the other side

Ah! She finally found her two best friends

Food and a soft carpet on which she does not slide

I am only the keeper of the the snack she sought to find
