He has such amazing eyes
this dog
with the anxious soul
brown and deep they look
up
questioning
vulnerable
am I OK?
Do you love me?
Will you treat me kindly?
And what about my treats?
My heart goes out to my
Labrador friend
And I see in his eyes
My own soul
That anxious
Questioning side of me
Looking toward the infinite
The sacred
And wondering
And yet I know
that the hand
that reaches down to me
reaches out in love
its pierced beauty reminds me
that I need never
be afraid
(In honor of Wrigley, who is visiting for a short while :)
