The Inextinguishable Chink Of Light

Hope runs in slow motion
When the shoe is on the wrong foot
When the chorus of power-drunks rattles the floorboards
And the timbers of the prisoners creak
Bones, bones....and for the wolves, sheep!

Don't forget Sleep
Blissful sleep
Shut-eyed sleep
Blind to the Light of the Sun
"Don't bother me!"
"Don't wanna know!"
Lost in slumber deep!

THAT shit!

wake.jpg

Memories clank chains behind ghosts of nostalgia
Fictions of a Happy Past and a Grim Future make the headlines
As former allies and partners squabble over gory details
And holy water from the Ganges refuses to wash away stains
Any longer!

What Then O'Humanity?

Do You Need Yet Another Saviour?
Another Voice Of Authority In The Sweaty Darkness
Telling You How To Wipe Yer Butt And
Rationing Out Toilet Paper In The Same Ol' Ways Of Yore?

Do you sit there idly itch scratching; watching
The Present become shadowed and forlorn?
Are the Veils of 'Certainty' that once protected
now dying and fragmented, their legacy tired, worn?
"Take heART then" ..say the leaves on the tree and the fly in the sky
"Listen up like those wise ol' Ears of Corn:
"The Darkest part of the Night, you see,
"Falls roundabout or just before Dawn!

Oh yeah, it's been a long night. 7 would be great, for it means the day is about to arrive. :)
Ahhh... that flower, soothing.

I cried a lot reading your post. I was also thinking of my own Dawggy companion @flamistan (second pic :)

Aww @flamistan is adorable! Shepherd or something else?
I didn’t mean to make you cry, but I have been told many many times that the way I weave my words is very impactful.
Now that I am almost post 24 hours of trying to hold her and console 4 children and myself, I know there are things I forgot to add that I will do as a supplement piece. There is a lot more meat than potatoes in this story.
Thank you again for your help. Like I said, anything at all helps. So thank you for being a good huymin or hooman as I believe Princess would spell it. God bless. ✨💖🐝🙏💫

Hey yeah, Flame's dad is half German Shepherd (dunno the other half) and her mum is half Belgian Shepherd and half Collie - nicely spotted :D.

the way I weave my words is very impactful.

Right on sister, I could feel those feelings of loss your words expressed. Tough on you and the kids!

Flame keeps telling me that Dawgs perceive life and death differently from most humans and that they are always around - that we can still feel their energy even after they are 'gone'.

That’s awesome! I love shepherds. We had several growing up and my parents have 2 currently. Great and amazing dogs. ☺️

I thought I would come and see if you were around at all. I saw Flame's upvote on my recent post and thought of the two of you... I have checked in from time to time to see if either of you are active but I guess life is happening right now for you. Sending lots of love to both of you... and I hope that this is true... and that the dawn is coming soon for you. Fabulous poem - made me a little sad... but also hopeful because of the ending...

Hey Sam, so nice of you to check in on me and me Hyumi...he's still kinda offchain but he regularly tells me that he's just had this or that idea for a post. I think he just can't be bothered atm and if he comes back, it'll be low-key, occasional....like photographs for HiveStockImages, or personal stuff about the vegetables in the garden. I've thought of posting too, but I don't have a Dawggy laptop and I keep thinking about squirrels and get distracted.

Barge gets a bit despondent about the whole imminence-of-dawn thing but I know it to be true, not just for us, but for you and for everyone out there :D

We so appreciate your thinking of us......hoping you are well.

🤗
