Me and my dog

This is a poem about me and my dog, and the art of slow living.





me and my dog
we sit
we sit
with our faces
in the wind
eyes closed
hearts open

me and my dog
we watch
we watch
birds flying
leaves falling
grass dying
geese calling

me and my dog
we listen 
we listen
to the heartbeat
in the earth
the hoofbeats
of mighty beasts

racing across time
wild horses running
at breakneck speed
leaving us behind
but we don't need
that kind of rush, no
not me and my dog
