The love of a dog, an eternal gift

«The love of a dog, an eternal gift. »
   (Любовь собаки, вечный дар.)



Juan de Fuca Bay, serene and fair,
Wrapped in a pristine shroud of snow, a tranquil lair.
The cedars tall, donning coats of glistening white,
Stood sentinel-like, majestic in their height.

I cast a stick into the vast ocean wide,
My dog leapt, with grace and noble pride.
A golden arrow, she sliced through the blue,
Emerging from the water, sparkling anew.

The setting sun painted the sky in fiery hues,
A breathtaking spectacle, a celestial muse.
Seagulls danced, their calls in perfect tune,
With crashing waves, under the luminous moon.

Though stars may fade, and time may drift,
The love of a dog, an eternal gift.
In a world beyond perception, love knows no end,
Cherished and treasured, my loyal, lifelong friend.
