the world is a glittery place –

baubles may roll – ribbons may rustle  –

LIFE is a party –

pounce!

Holiday Hounds

Posted on December 7, 2014 by eteal

the lights are lit

and houses shine

and trees sparkle for a short time

with electricity and memories.

and here You are,

but why that collar?

and why the lies?

shepherd eyes from green cove springs

Listen and train –

 relationships are made with communication not pain.

Purfume

So You come sauntering in the door –

smelling of perfume???

whose could it be?

it is not the tree moss damp fern pine needle of your usual romps…

Oh if you could only tell me….

black cat walks forward

I would say how wonderful

that you allow yourself

to

be

loved!
