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.
