Rainbow Bridge Farewell to a

Australian Shepherd

I spun in circles just to think,
my brain forever bright,
With eyes like storms and fur like art,
I charged toward the light.
A worker born with heart on fire,
I herded dreams and sheep —
And now I chase the clouds themselves
while you’re still fast asleep.
No fence can hold me anymore,
no pasture too far wide,
I dance across the northern lights
with joy I never hide.
Just whistle once into the wind,
and feel the rush begin —
That breeze that moves your soul again?
That’s where I’ve always been.
