Spring ahead

Posted on March 10, 2019 by eteal

The border collie was a beautiful blur of

Poetry in motion.

.

Inspiration

To

Spring

Or

Leap

Or

Jump

Or

just a reminder to reset your clock

For the possibilities ahead.

Wake up call

Posted on March 9, 2019 by eteal

My eyes opened

Onto a face filled with mud and mayhem…

Stickers and prickers framed Her fur,

As She danced wet earth roses across my heart with Her paws.

Do not discount the daily messy blessings…

No mud, no lotus?

Know mud!

Know lotus!

Overheard Conversations

I do not eavesdrop intentionally,

But Your Divine voice sings in my ears,

Ringing the world with

Love.

Face it

Posted on March 6, 2019 by eteal

He came to the window,

Face bloody and yet proud.

Oh the life of a feral boy,

Let me put the ointment on your wounds,

While you purr your way into my heart.

Boxes

Somedays it feels like you never get out of the box….

But you have to ask yourself

is that really true?

The lawn was filled with red breasts

A dance of spring

Filled my heart

Escape

Posted on March 4, 2019 by eteal

The leash was dropped

(By accident or neglect or fatigue)

But oh the joy that dropped tether!

(Despite the protestations of the human)

The field was filled with delight.

.

Sometimes it is important not to listen to the voices of judgement or embarrassment

When opportunity strikes, leap!

Rolling

Posted on March 3, 2019 by eteal

She has wheels for her back legs,

And a Purple Heart on the forehead…

And love for the world.

.

The little girl

Greeted me with joy,

Then nuzzled her human for more neck rubs,

Her eyes squinting in happy bliss.

.

We are all wounded

We are all recovering

We are all learning

We are all loved.

Forward

Posted on March 2, 2019 by eteal

She leaned in

And purred,

stretching her neck out

To nudge my hand.

My heart melted.

.

But I had to reach my hand out to Her first.

Red

Posted on March 1, 2019 by eteal

A flash of red

Against a blue sky

Amidst a forming fog of pastel green

on branches still barren black

A flash of red

Brought me back

.

Pay attention
