Heavenly Bones

Do all dogs go to heaven
She asks
We are just awake 
Coming to naturally 
I take a sip of water
Of course they do
I reply
They are heavenly bones 
All brave creatures
Should be allowed to travel 
To the next world 
Without question 
She says
Wiping the milk from her lips 
I like how limitless
And freely we can talk 
It is like hollering into the night time sky
Trotting on cloud ponies
Riding the stars 
Everything making sense 
And feeling good
We would hate not to think
To ask each other questions 
We think of the creatures that have 
Passed us by
Remember their smell and weight 
Thank heavens Dormouse
Will be here forever
I wonder where animals in Wonderland go
Perhaps they will always be there
Ready for the next person 
Who needs them.

  1. Come to think of it, animals do have some rights. They can rightly go to heaven, certainly!

  2. If we can go all the other creatures should be able to go too as humans are bot all up to the animals standard. There are quite a few dogs which should welcome me!
