Hound Of Mine Poem by Julian Takali

At dusk, when the sun kisses the horizon and gleams across the fiery sky
Lays beside my legs, a hound of mine

My dear dog, my greatest friend
Oh in a second how I'd trade with you for the life you lead
A life calm and cool, a path rid of worry
A ride of restful waves, a lane without hurry

Yes my canine, I envy, I envy twice all of you
Yes gentlemen - all I say is true
I preach as a jealous man of utmost regret
"Wouldnt you like to be I" then he said
