Tania Kitchin Poet Free verse

My Zen Moment

It’s early Sunday, I can see my breath
The morning air is crisp but not cold
The sunrise is reflecting on the river
My greyhound is bundled up beside me
My feet walk briskly, grounding me
My dog walks on my left, beside me
His tags making a soft jingle sound
I can see my dog’s breath as he walks
The sound of his feet and mine together
A rhythm that is soothing and grounding
Suddenly an eagle swoops over the water
Magnificent with his wings open wide
We stop and pause, taking in the beauty 
We walk around town, it’s calm and quiet
I now feel more relaxed and refreshed 
Thankful to have these Zen moments

Sam Kauffman April 21, 2020 at 1:40 PM Lovely picture painted by your words. I see the picture and almost feel the breath and warmth of your dog. Our Wheaten terrier and I walk about 5-10 miles a week. He lets me know when it is four 'o' clock - walk time - by getting into the wastebasket in my office. My Celtic rascal. Blessings to you and for your many future walks. Tania Kitchin April 21, 2020 at 3:53 PM Thank you Sam, the only time I don't walk mine is in the rain or snow. I miss the walks more than him at times!

Richard Lamoureux April 21, 2020 at 8:45 AM As of late I have come to enjoy my solitary walks. Mind you having a dog to accompany me would be most welcome. Tania Kitchin April 21, 2020 at 11:19 AM My dog makes all the difference, but walking is always good solitary too! Thanks for your visit.
