North of Rainbow Bridge

by MakWa4me

The time comes. A Siberian Husky lifts up its head.
There is an untested adventure beyond. Time to go.

Across the Rainbow Bridge is a place for all dogs.
A river runs wide and shallow with tennis balls that fly with their own wings;
that is the place for a Labrador or Golden to await its master’s arrival.

The Siberian is not content here. Northward is its trail.
There are soft pastures for Aussies and Border Collies, with sheep and geese to pen.
Agility equipment grows like trees amid Frisbees and flyball.

But the North continues its sure wild call,
and the Siberian’s journey continues.

Now the air is colder. Now the moon is always full.
Now the light is silver and it breaks and shimmers on fields of bright snow

Now there are no roads, no walls, no pens, just endless space to run.
This is where Siberians gather, North of the Rainbow Bridge.

They wait in this beautiful place, happy, but not complete.
Suddenly, a howl begins, as one dog senses someone coming,
someone very special.

All the Siberians raise their heads and join in the ancient chorus.
They dance like moonbeams and sing like winter winds.

There are red ones like dawn streaks, black ones splattered with many colors
and silver ones like the first strange hour before light.
They line up as if in harness and run together,
in a scintillating, many-colored streak.

The leader of the team guides the others past the fields
and river, with racing feet and racing heart.
They rush to greet the new arrival at the Rainbow Bridge
where the leader is rejoined with its beloved person, never to be parted again.

The glory of the reunion is celebrated by all
the Siberians dwelling beyond the Bridge,
a glimmering, multicolored team leaping and whirling with joy.

The light from that scene is what we see on magical evenings
in the northernmost parts of this Earth:
The Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights beyond the Rainbow Bridge.

( If you want to remember your dog in the best way possible.
Donate some time or money to Siberian Husky rescue.
Consider adopting a rescue dog. I am! (MakWa4me)

Run well, my honey goofy girl

Friends Posted in Uncategorized by badger Being A Friend There is a difference between being an acquaintance and being a friend. First, an acquaintance is someone whose name you know, who you see every now and then, who you probably have something in common with and who you feel comfortable around. It’s a person that you can invite to your home and share things with. But they are people who you wouldn’t share your life with, whose actions sometimes you don’t understand because you don’t know enough about them.. On the other hand, a friend is someone you love. Not that you are “in love” with them, but you care about them and you think about them when they are not there. The people you are reminded of when you see something they might like, and you know this because you know them so well. They are the people whose pictures you have and whose faces are in your head regardless. They are the people you see in your mind when you hear a song on the radio because they made you go up ...
