Sleeping Dogs Poem by Geraldine Moorkens Byrne

Sleeping Dogs



Do not awaken slumbering beasts;
They are guarding secrets
Deeper than you know.

Do not provoke their interest
or you will flee
before the reddened eye and bared teeth.

Sleeping Dogs guard the gates of hel
and feast upon the arrogant or unwary soul -
Who fears not the past, is a fool.
