What brilliant soul-sparks,
Clothed in fur,
Looking deeply into
Your eyes and
Silently training you
To love!
Love and obey them,
For they are teachers
Of these high arts.
In time, when you
Find yourself
On all fours,
Looking up
At a giant,
Perhaps you will
Understand in full:
Put love and obedience
Before all:
Place them at the feet
Of your master,
Your student,
Your soulmate,
To share
Like the saved morsels
That bind your four-legged
Teachers
To you
In eternal vigilance,
Unending compassion,
Silent devotion.
--Mr. Gobley
