sit by me
lend me your ear
even just to stratch and stroke
you my bestest friend are the one who always stayed
and wanted to be close by me
no matter what my weather
you give me moments of such absolute happiness
as i watch you run wild and free
over green fields
chasing kangaroos butterflies or birds
you taught me what playfulness and true innocence is
as you ran and jumped on others
while i stood miles away
pretending my heart wasn’t yearning and longing
to belong to someone or something
even now i feel you silently witnessing my pain
in a deep and free place
where truths are known beyond words
my gratitude to you will never end
although some days I long for someone to take care of me
as I take care of you
was it all projection
that bought me to you
only this I know
the love of a dog’s heart is so pure
and uncomplicated
and it is
in those deepest moments of soul wrenching honesty
the purest balm
of love and devotion
that helps us access and heal
these scoured out hurting places
left by human’s pain.
Love the imagery here
