Starry-eyed Stare…

While walking along a narrow road

I stumble on a frozen stone

I look up at the winding path

two eyes piercing at me in the dark

they shine so bright, I go still with fright

A chill seeps into my bones

As I stand there… on the narrow road…

Alone and scared, with no where to go…

I decide to walk towards this starry-eyed stare

I take a few steps and go back a dozen…

Suddenly, the clouds part and..

In the silver moonlight I realize…

Its only a li’l pup, lonely in the night

White as snow, his eyes start to glow

He wishes for warmth and love, I understand so

Slowly, the chill in my bones begins to go

and I feel air reach back to my lungs

Now the wind feels like a lovely brush

As I rush… to my lonely pet…

And he welcomes me with a lovely hug…

wagging his tail and his paws on my knee..

he makes me happy and I laugh with glee

To be loved and respected is everyone’s right

And, thence, we start our lovely life…
