These dogs bound off to lead my way
As drops of moonlight glisten still
Eagerly we dash in quest to find our day
Inner warmth finds me, each step a test of will
Patient they have been pretending sleep
Now we toil on march, dawn steals light our way
Vigilant my friends feel me need their keep
Collapsed in a pile their tongues massage my aches away
By candlelight my flowing tears reveal
New dawn, as meteors rest their zeal.
