Dog Days

Soft and warm whispers against the back of my neck
as the breeze carries such fragarence that evokes delightful memory
we walk along
until she stops to smell the bush allowing me to scan the skies
star filled and darkly clear

I enjoy our ritual together each evening
enjoy the different seasons we walk together 
spring brings the cherry blossoms that we love to walk through
summer brings the warm breezes and sprinklers that cool us down
autumn brings those leaves that crunch underfoot
and winter brings out the fun as she bounds from one path of snow to another
being the winter lover that she is...

these moments are etched for always in my memory
and a part of me wishes to take a snapshot
and frame it for keeps in my house
so that when the blues overcome me
or loneliness starts to be
the pictures of my dog and I will always be there
to remind me.
