Still

for dVerse

The dog is still
tucked into my side
each paw I feel; his nose
those sparks of life
run wild with no guide
but now
he snores.
And I will not disturb
will stay stiller than he.

  4. ...Ah,this was a li'l candy to me...so sweet and serene... it almost resembles to the 'Percy Poems' of Mary Oliver... you must read that series of her just in case you haven't yet... Dogs can truly bring lessons that are beyond what the school can bring... I enjoyed the read a lot... So short but so excellent...smiles...
