Freedom of the Dog

The wind sweeps over my bikini and combs through my hair This canoe ride.. is like a glass of red wine The Naked grape my favourite kind. I feel at peace............... For the first time, in a while completely rid of my anxieties The sun embraces my skin My china doll ceramic is so accepting My golden retriever fearlessly jumps off the dock he flies He seeks adventure and see's life for what it is You see because life is two people throwing a frisbee. Chasing the disc back and forth desperately in hopes of the one momentarty tasting his own personal victories Or those moments where you throw back your hair to the wind Uncaring for the consequences This is how he lives My golden retriever is the essence of living,, unaware of how his actions may be percieved as emberrassing. Because he lives how he feels free, and when your free your mind explodes like a dying star and is reborn into a forming galaxy That is all he needs. When is it in life that we as humans just accept life for the catch and release The elegant flight of the greek discus When we should be tossing away our laptops, and blackberries I'm sick of fashion magazines telling me what is the right skinny Because I have two skin cascadian mountains erupting from my chest I have hips like the sticks of dynamite and nile river torso and a bottom that is as flat as a pizza dough You realize the quirks and aspects that make you as an individual BEAUTIFUL Live like the dog that is hidden in the back of your mind find the little things that make you gratified Love the people around you, and celebrate their arrivals like a carnival Eat your bowls of food like they were your last meal Lay out on the carpet as if you lay in a bed with sheets made from Egyptian Silks This is the way to live your life I am telling you
