Dog is God Spelled Backwards

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 :)
