Dogs and Trees
by Glenn CurrierThere’s a college with a library
that allows dogs to be checked out
especially useful for stress relief at exam time
or when loving waters are in drought.
Have you felt comfort when a dog climbed
into you lap for a nap?
Then you know how dogs love to rest
and teach humans what it means
to be in the moment truly blessed.
Ah! the solitude of green
enjoyed by trees
what the silence of a gentle breeze
can do for the soul
if I stop for a while and just breathe
or take time for a languid stroll.
Dogs and trees resting with ease
what glorious gifts for this frantic species!
Makes being human seem alright
even if a library that checks out dogs
is not a nearby delight.
Animals and trees and a cooling breeze
moments of rest and being at ease
what more could one desire
to make a day worthwhile? 02/23/2019 Posted on 02/23/2019

| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 03/01/19 at 11:50 AM Your poem, Glenn, besides being a delightful read has a calming effect as it is written . It is a lullaby in many respects which is more than welcoming to the poetic ear. |
