•♥†Can't see nothing in front of me.†♥•
•♥†Cant see nothing coming up behind.†♥•
•♥†I make my way through this darkness.†♥•
•♥†I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me.†♥•
•♥†Lost track of how far I've gone.†♥•
•♥†How far I've gone, how high I've climbed.†♥•
•♥†On my back's a sixty pund stone.†♥•
•♥†On my shoulder a half mile of line.†♥•

•♥†Come on up for the rising.†♥•
•♥†Come on up, lay your hands in mine.†♥•
•♥†Come on up for the rising.†♥•
•♥†Come on up for the rising tonight.†♥•

•♥†Left the house this morning.†♥•
•♥†Bells ringing filled the air.†♥•
•♥†Wearin' the cross of my calling.†♥•
•♥†On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here.†♥•

•♥†There's spirits above and behind me.†♥•
•♥†Faces gone black, eyes burnin' bright.†♥•
•♥†May their precious blood bind me.†♥•
•♥†As I stand before your fiery light.†♥•

•♥†I see you Mary in the garden.†♥•
•♥†In the garden of a thousand sighs.†♥•
•♥†There's holy pictures of our children.†♥•
•♥†Dancin' in a sky filled with light.†♥•
•♥†May I feel your arms around me.†♥•
•♥†May I feel your blood mix with mine.†♥•
•♥†A dream of life comes to me.†♥•
•♥†Like a catfish dancin' on the end of my line.†♥•

•♥†Sky of blackness and sorrow.†♥•
•♥†Sky of love and tears.†♥•
•♥†Sky of glory and sadness.†♥•
•♥†Sky of mercy, sky of fear.†♥•
•♥†Sky of memory and shadow.†♥•
•♥†Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight.†♥•
•♥†Sky of longing and emptiness.†♥•
•♥†Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life.†♥•

•♥†Come on up for the rising.†♥•
•♥†Come on up, lay your hands in mine.†♥•
•♥†Come on up for the rising.†♥•
•♥†Come on up for the rising tonight.†♥•


† Female GSD/Dobie walks solemnly through the alley. She hardly knew of her whereabouts, totally oblivious to everything going on around her. Her eyes were a dark cloudy blue, making her look dazed, though she wasn't. Head is low as she takes every step, every movement agony. She'd been traveling for a long time, gotten in a few fights, etc. When she passes something she'd normally barked at or chased, such as a cat, she acts as if she'd never seen a cat in her life, walking right past it. †



((I took this poem from a song written by Bruce Springstein. This dog is dedicated to the firemen of 9/11.))
