Living Poe's Dream

 

 

Today we celebrate ten tears since our Poe joined our family of hounds. I written about Poe before and the wonderful bond we have formed. Poe has been a dream come true. A truer more loyal friend and companion would be hard to find. Over the years Poe has been my constant shadow. He is a beacon of light whom I am quite proud.

While Poe is no longer young with his touch of grey he remains my forever friend.

Today is his day – our day to celebrate all the wonderful times we have shared. It is our shared dreams that make our lives complete – not the promises of riches we can not spend. Poe is one of my priceless riches that life has bestowed. Life promises us nothing but the riches of finding our dreams – in Poe we have found that dream.

There are those throughout the history of time who tell you - to find your dreams you must be a dreamer yourself. We might all be different and lost in life's fog, but in the end aren't we all just living Poe's dream within a dream?

Poe now joins an exclusive club we call "Ten Years After" with Cleo, Abbie, Beagle, Agnes, Casey and Marley who have withstood the grace of time. This is his day to celebrate that bond.

From his namesake – Edgar Allen Poe

"A Dream within a Dream"

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

Edgar Allen "Poe"
