LUCKY
I AM LUCKY
In the dreamy dewy
morning's earliness
the man and me
we walked
I am Lucky
And so is he
I have four paws
The he has but two
With a very long tongue
I taste it all
On the greenish glades
I place my searching nose
between grass blades
I smell and I eat
the dreamy dewy
earliness
Sniffing and tasting
all of it is how I live
It's what I have left
to take and to give
in the early soundless
morningness
My man is a happy camper
Surely I know that
Even so, wish he had a tail
so he might show me
Happiness: something to spread
wherever this day our trail
up and down, twists and bends
WAIT!
Who else is walking
In the dreamy dewy
Morning early?
Are her footsteps
breaking the silence?
My hearing so sharp
detects not a single sound
but I feel her presence
A feet-walking other
With me and the man
So far away, so always close
in even these:
the early
the dew
the dark blending
with morning light
the dream, yes, the dreams!
The he walks with the she
Lucky is me....

Was down in your state a couple of weeks ago. Each morning I took a walk/run along the beach. Great way to start the day.
Loved your poem and yes we're the same age. I also lived in Ohio near Akron before moving to Tennessee.

Ah yes. "Lucky" is lucky! Hubby just got back from his walk with the Buds. Pure unconditional love.
That is so sweet! The Lucky eye view ! :)

This was very poignant and beautiful, that early morningness in a dog's life and in the human who walks him. Good poetry! Thank you for your comment on my post yesterday. Cheers!
Ah, sweet Lucky. Inpatient alcohol rehab can be the right thing for a struggling alcoholic. Good poem.
Very nice poem!
