The Black Dog

Post by Bob Pacey » Wed May 18, 2011 6:35 pm

The Black Dog

The black dog lurks in shadows deep invades your world when you should sleep.
always somewhere in your mind it seems that you can never find
that place where all is peaceful dreaming without the hate and evil scheming.
Close your eyes and drift away tomorrow is another day.


Sleep itself brings some relief from painful never ending grief
but once again I wake in fright enveloped by the still dark night.
The morning comes and brings the dawn safety from the devils spawn.
I rise to face another day for it’s the piper I must pay.

Been there done that - not nice. This too will pass. ;)

That's why dogs are such good mates - they never judge

Cheers

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

That's a really good poem Bob. You do serious well.

Been there too Bob. It's not forever. Do we need a working bee for Bobbo too?

Possibly a typo in the second row. Did you mean never instead of ever?

As ever oh purple moderator you are correct. Bear in mind I wrote and posted this before I went for my walk and only just got back. Still would not have picked it up though.


Received Greg Norths new dvd today so will have some entertainment tomorrow night. Just got to wait until the crew go out.
