What are dogs waiting, waiting and still waiting, all day long, the
nose on the ground, the eyes seeming wild, lost in thought ?
What are they thinking, while daydreaming ? Who will ever know ?

Just come on, my dog, tell me what you have on your mind.
Are you waiting for better days ? Are you waiting for something or
for someone ? Or are you simply waiting for the time to come and
go away, hour after hour, day after day ... ?

Are you waiting to know, are you waiting to understand ? Or do you
already know what is to be known ?

Are you waiting for novelty, are you waiting for other things ? Or are
you merely content with what is being now ?

Are you searching answers and the eternal truth of life, or are you
simply thinking of this, that and the other ?

Are you dreaming of playing, running, eating, or anything else ? Or
are you just waiting for time to take its course ?

Are you waiting for me to do something for you ? Or have you
already understood how I'm unable to guess your thoughts ... ?

Are you waiting for anything else or anyone else ? Or do you
already know what I would like so much to know ?

Everything comes to he who waits. So wait and still wait my dog,
tomorrow will soon come ...
