A Me And The Many Companions
Gratitude to the fur balls
In you I find the body guard
following even when the shadows leave my side
In you I find the destroyer
teaching me to detach from the material
In you I find the teacher
to think about every plastic step I take
In you I find joy
acknowledging our give and take in the fleeting moments
In you I find simplicity
playing with unmaned objects and then letting them be
In you I find a seeker
unafraid to try every experience in your journey
In you I find a rebel
defying the rules and barked orders of the others
In you I find an angel
caring with devotion unconditionally
In you I find a witness
watching with all your senses, this life going by
In you I find nothing but love
for I am loved back manifold in abandon

As the eyes fill, soaking the heart and soul… in gratitude to the dogs who live with me beyond years, the ones I had brief street encounters with, the ones rescued from being unwelcome … you have healed, taught and loved me beyond words.
Let us all continue to live in harmony with the many creations of existence. Acknowledging to create a safer enviornment, cleaner planet and a better space to breathe.
