The Rainbow Bridge

 

In a deep dream

I saw an old wooden bridge

A bridge of green and blue

Filled with yellow flowers and red roses

At the front of a huge crowd of watching blinking eyes

Stood a regal black Dobermann

He seemed quite confident and approached

You may not cross here yet

He spoke 

Within my mind

These lands are for those who never forget true love

Us 

The companions

Of mankind

This is The Rainbow Bridge 

And over those ivy mountains 

Are the golden cities

Filled with happy owners and their sidekicks

The brothers and sisters of the Watchers

Who you now see

Before you

Called

The Bellagio

A sea of eyes

Filled with love 

Who'll follow you 

Wherever you go

Waiting patiently 

In this rain or snow

For their beloved owners to show

Above you

If you look

Is a mirror 

So we can see the other side

To know when their time Too comes

To prepare to be reunited

When our true love

Say their final goodbyes

For true love never dies

Only fluctuates

As one walks 

Through a new gate

We are now at peace

No pain

No anxiety 

Just happy to sit and wait for our soulmates

To cross The Rainbow Bridge

For there is no time

And no such concept of being late

Now go

Astral traveler

And recount our meeting and greetings from me and

The Bellagio

And with a low bark

He turned and walked back into the sea of smiling eyes

Who all blinked in unison

Seemingly smiling

And disappeared

As the dream started to fade

He appeared once more

Briefly 

In the trailing smoke

And whispered before I could answer

It is I 

Caesar 

I have always been waiting for you

And as I woke and wrote

In my dream journal

The beloved  memories of Caesar returned

Making me smile

That he was waiting

Now at peace

Amongst his happy brothers and sisters

Beyond The Rainbow Bridge
