The clock of perpetuity
Ticks along and we
Check it for the most part
Its Our continuity
Animals some resident
Others from the wild
Tribes with their own
Destiny
Many are defiled
By man’s immortal struggles
His wasteful habitual shame
We eat, we shoot, we cull the brute
We even play a game
Sportingly we murder
Feral souls who be
Designed each one a miracle
Of life shared magically
The question we are often asked
Animals give their all
They give us such affection
And all come when we call
Our best friends
loyal to the end
But not so humans who
Have their own complex relationships
And do what humans do
The problem is we are searching
As the clock ticks through each day
We are finding loves and losing them
All along the way
The animals they love us
No matter what we do
They will show their love
And their loyalty
At a level which is true
Whether you are old and wrinkled
Whether your hair is white
Whether you limp, whatever
They are there, in spite
Of all your imperfections
They love you through and through
Not so the average human
That again is true
SO I have my own soul mate
And she is still with me
Miss Pain she slows my gait a bit
But she helps me to see
The road ahead and all my dreams
Magically she feels
Its not that I am bonkers
Its just that she reveals
Something really beautiful
Perhaps from long ago
Someone I met and fell in love with
Who didnt want to know
But that has made no difference
For she fills each memory
She is In my heart forever
with me magically
And when I doubt or wonder
If I see distress
I think of her and call her
and she is there to bless
Me, and we never argue
For She is always near
When I want to talk to her
I do that
Just from here
No wifi i phone needed
She is Closer than you think
I close my eyes
And talk things through
We have an eternal link
With infinity with forever
With never being alone
She is resident in my consciousness
My personal chaperon
