 I long for peace I long for love

I long for your touch as if from above

Your deep deep eyes 

That mesmerise

That draw me in to your castle keep

That comfort me in night time sleep

You teach me ways of ancient strays

Journeyed for a million miles

Across the bridge of souls

Give to me up your hands to hold  

In return here’s my  heart to mould 

I’m like a lead that hangs

Forlorn on the hook

Awaiting the dog that never returns

That’s gone on the ether 

That died of a fever

Gathering the ,last  cobwebs of your smile

I can wait awhile

 I’m only an animal

What do I know  ?

I sit and gaze at receding snow

I wonder why,  10 years past

I stood at this spot in icy blast

Mysteriously it’s disappeared 

So it’s father North I’ll go I fear

I’m lost now in a barren land 

Devoid of life the grounds just sand

My coat is still a snowy white

I stick out like a shining light

I look back south

With dimming eyes

The pall  of smoke  it darkens skies

My friends of forest with terror fly

Their frightened eyes do wonder why?

Racing round in total panic

The earth is sinking as Titanic

Their homes are all now burnt down

Their hunting grounds  they’re out of town

I’m wandering unfamiliar lands

No food no shelter I’m prey to man

But I’m only an animal

I’ve packed my bags , I’m nearly gone

Consigned to history over and done

I’m the last on earth

I stand forlorn, And stand alone 

Gazing up as cold as stone

My mortal body it slumps down 

to Mother Earth its whispered sound 

The very one that gave me birth

goodbye forever  , Mother Earth 

My shadow soul it sheds a tear

At my dead  husk, it’s now all clear

Us animals were not built to last , 

Mankind will follow us

And fast
