dog park by lauren kahle


Grass so green, long, flowing with the wind
Like a secret dance, like an expression
Of happy feeling, basking in the sun
We’re on top of the world, top of the hill
A long vast vision of greenness, nature
Good vibes illuminating the warm air
Being breathed in and out and in again
A feeling pulsing through all of our minds
To thrust ourselves down the hill; a rolling
Adventure, to fly through this warm spring air
All of the dogs appear to have smiles on
Their pointed faces, tongues hanging out of
Their ajar mouths as they exert energy
Sprinting, playing, frolicking through the field
Faces so obviously full of joy
Many conversations being had here
Whether in grunts, grumbles and little squeals
Or an exchange of words, a trade of thoughts
It was hard not to be happy, surrounded by sunshine
And the joyful dogs, smiling all the while
A loving embrace leaves a paw print
On a purple shirt, a stamp of kinship
And then he’s on his way again, running
New friends and new places, yet animals
Always appear at home, under the sky
The sky so blue it makes you want to jump
In it, cannonball into the blue air
Bathe in it like a warm bath, or sauna
The rays imprint happiness on our souls
If only every day was like this
