Working Dog

the sun casts
beautiful colors 
trees and fields
I stand feet planted
holding Reds leash as he takes the bait
100 plus pounds want that bite and then
GO
runs a blind the first time
oh the glory
of a working dog in motion
truely I tear up behind my sunglasses
as he turns
triumph in his eyes
