Dog by a Tree

The callousness of unfeeling time
blithely spread before me
entangled in the grapevine
that was once a tall pine tree.

The animal that knew the way home
has grown weary from the years
but ever thinking of me
can hold back a flood of tears.

You see that light over by the moon
With waves like the widest ocean?
That's the peace that's coming soon,
the sum total of all emotion.

Don't worry about the sun and moon,
Don't worry about the weather
all told it's all the same,
things will only get better.

Don't worry about your freedom
or even the changing weather,
if you can read the writing on the wall
Things will only get better.

See the animal by the tall oak tree
with waves of the widest ocean?
The shadows of the grapevine flee -
carelessly in perfect motion.

The animal awakes from a deepened sleep,
effortlessly it walks in time,
casting across a mountain deep
to a place you will call sublime.
