The Dog and the Bone

Title: Reflections in the Water Verse 1: In the golden glow of a fading day, A lone dog roams where the children play. With a prize of a bone, his pace is set, Crossing bridges where dreams and reflections met. Chorus: Reflections in the water, tell me what you see, Is there another world, or just a greedy plea? He opened his jaws, let go of today, Chasing shadows, his bone slips away. Verse 2: On the bridge, he paused, eyes caught in a stare, Another dog, another bone, seemingly fair. A bigger prize in the silent stream, Greed whispers softly, a deceptive dream. Bridge: But the water is tricky, a mirror of night, It shows you the moon, but not the right light. He lunges, he falls, the lesson is clear, What you have is enough, hold it near. Chorus: Reflections in the water, tell me what you see, Is there another world, or just a greedy plea? He opened his jaws, let go of today, Chasing shadows, his bone slips away. Outro: As the ripples calm, and the truth is plain, Sometimes a reflection is just a chain. In the grip of want, what’s real may flee, Reflections in the water, let them be.
