Coy Dogs |
| There’ve been too many leavings to list in one place |
| Too many arrivals to ever retrace |
| And those have wandered haven’t fallen from grace |
| Just done a few things they would like to erase |
| And met with their shadows face to face |
| Up, on the ridge top the coy dog cries |
| It’s mother, a coyote with bright yellow eyes |
| A coy dog’s half friendly, the other half wild |
| Half is homebody and half is streetwise |
| It can’t help its nature and but God knows it tries |
| Star light, star bright |
| All the dogs are restless tonight |
| Leave on the porch light |
| I’ll be home after midnight |
| It’s all blessed and restless and up for debate |
| A season, a chance to alter a fate |
| But a moment can pass just because it can’t wait |
| And time hits you hard with a terrible weight |
| Like a rock to the forehead stamped with 'Too Late' |
| Star light, star bright |
| All the dogs are restless tonight |
| Leave on the porch light |
| I’ll be home after midnight |
| Our vision’s often faulty |
| We see but through the glass darkly |
| And yet we know deep down |
| When we hear the sound |
| When it speaks our name |
| The moon eats its center until it dissolves |
| Then conquers the shadow with a single resolve |
| Here’s to hoping for wholeness no matter how small |
| Asking the questions that cannot be solved |
| And following the ache of unnamable call |
| Star light, star bright |
| All the dogs are restless tonight |
| Leave on the porch light |
| I’ll be home after midnight |
| I’ll be home after midnight |
| I’ll be home after midnight |
