My quickening step, But oh, so quiet, Never faais to raise the bark, Even though the rain is stair rods In Winters icy dark. Silent though the letter flap raises To receive the envelope of love, Undisturbed the spiders slumber As missive floats on wings of dove To plop on bristle matted carpet, At feet of silent sentinel dog, Whose sudden voice raises Cain and Able, Brings to life each sleeping log. And on the shadowy return path Where gate is resting open on latch, A ghost like figure, hunting waits With outstretched claw, a leg to catch. Pursed lips squeak, And hand, laid low, Connects with tail upstretched, As hunter, tall on curving toe, Begs, with nerves unflexed. A smoothing stroke, A smoothing motion, This still time As canine commotion Dies a death behind dead door. Step out straight, Return the gate, To leave this scene Still and serene, To come to life more naturally With mysterious message Expectant on floor. DUMBRECK ROAD |
