TIME TICKS ON...
a Lick, a Pat, a curl of the Ear.
a Look, a Nod, a silent tear.
Head on Paws, wag of Tail,
Eyelids heavy, Body frail.
lumpy grief, stuck in throat,
unshed drops, hardly afloat.
makeshift beds, morbid scene.
Time ticks on, gently weaves
tapestry of life, death achieves.
Memories only, Essence gone,
buried Love, time ticks on...
