Lucid Dreams - A Hug by William TeoHe padded toward me.
His tail wagging tentatively.
I could almost hear the whine
that threatened to overwhelm him.
His large sorrowed eyes.
His coarse furs hanging limply.
I froze, undecided, pondering over
instincts that strove to turn me away.
He padded toward me.
His ugly face grinning hopefully.
I could almost hear the cry
that threatened to overwhelm him.
His large jealous eyes.
His unkempted furs stinking strongly.
I knelt, and beckoned him over
And said, "Never forgotten, always."
I hugged him.
I loved him.
The taint that was jealousy fled.
I still loved him afterall, and he is contented. 05/31/2005 Author's Note: A series of thoughts...
Jealousy is a very strong emotion...
And sometimes we unknowingly provoked it in ones who loved...
Verily it is impossible to love everyone equally, but I do try my best...
