Yesterday the black dog came to visit me,
the same black dog who
used to visit Winston Churchill.
When my daughter came around, she could
see the black dog had turned up too and
that I was completely at his mercy.
She made her leave with
a simple kiss and goodbye,
"hope he goes soon",
I nodded in agreement.
For when he's around he completely
demands my attention and there's
no shaking him loose!
On retiring I sternly told the black dog
I didn't understand the reason for his visit
and that I thought I had sat with
him for long enough
and to be gone in
the morning!
***
I've not seen him so far, this morning
thank goodness
!!!
It is the beginning of a brand new day,
I am grateful for each day of my life...
I was at a funeral on Friday,
to say we'd anticipated a sad day
all turned out most beautifully....
my favourite hymn was sung
'Morning has Broken'
On this brand new day I'm sitting here
tapping the keys with the white dog
on my desk top being so very
appreciative....

let's walk slowly and bow deeply.
let's stand in the eternal light and
love.

I was beginning to wonder if the black dog wasn't a metaphor for some of the sadness you have been feeling lately rather than a real animal. I derived that from your saying he was the same one who used to visit Winston Churchill. Whether it is true or no, his presence seems to have upset you, reminded you of the funeral and so many things that have crowded in to gain your attention lately. I am glad that your favorite hymn was sung in church this morning. I am glad that Morning broke for you and I am truly happy that the white dog whom you love and who doesn't demand so much of you is accompanying you while you send your post to your blog family.
Much love,
Noelle
pink mornings
full of the glow
of new promise
new beginnings
and the blush of sweetness
the taste of chocolate and honey
and the soft amber tones
of candlelight...
sweet dreams,

sometimes he can seem 2 B a wolf
eating
our dreams!!!
{{ when he comes here,
up from the cellar,
i make sugar cookies
and take my time decorating them
with fine sprinkles
and icings of ever hue...
then i eat some
and go try on cowgirl boots
over at
The Tractor Supply!
when i get home
the
black dog is gone...}}
