Poetry Thursday

    

  

  My friends Angel Sammys and Teddys Pawetatonhave provided the picture below to inspire our poetry

Toby felt a sense of calm

After the pain that had caused his old body such harm

And ripped him from his sweet Mama’s arms

As he bought the proverbial farm

*

The next thing Toby knew he was wet

Into the River of Life his body had been sent

Until his body onto a bank did ascent

And for the first time in days he felt content

**

Toby stood not knowing which way to go

But then saw a flying crow

And the way the river did flow

And his heart was aglow

***

They Toby saw a bright light

Like a sparkling dawn pushing away unrelenting night

And Toby knew there was no longer reason for fright

And pain was replaced by delight.

****

Then he saw the Bridge made of stone

On the edge flowers were strewn

And towering above it two rainbows had grown

And Toby knew he was at his true forever home

*****

Then someone his name did call

And past him went his favorite lost ball

Then he was tackled by, and began running with his long lost brother Bar Crawl

And he saw, laughing, dear Uncle Paul

*******

By the time Toby learned he had transitioned to the other side

It was something he could abide

And he felt bad for all those on the mortal side he left behind

He adapted to his new role of being their spirit guide.
