David Bisacca

Begins weighty, drab and dark
as the way past memories lurk
Small flicker of flame it begins to inflate
In that soft glow i never saw such light
...

Think it would be profound
The difference in the sound
First morning walk alone
Without that cowbell tone
...

We had won
We had beat the world
We knew what we had
We knew what was real
...

Big eyes big heart
The best part
Big paws big teeth
Always so sweet
...

Found her abandoned and all alone
Had to pick her up and take her home
Plan was to take her to the pound at the start
But invisibly she worked her way into my heart
...

My little dog is no longer here
And with that i shed a tear..
If my little dog was still here
With that i would shed a tear..
...

Faded so slow but still i noticed
Out for so long as a dark empty closet
That light - that spark
That twinkle in your eye
...

I saw her standing in the hallway today
Her long hair streaked with gray
A glowing smile and eyes that sparkle
It was just as I imagined it
...
