i stand alone
wondering what people
are all about
why they bury themselves
in so many layers
seldom baring their souls
to each other
or revealing
what truly exists under the thick
yet brittle covering
they hide behind
and when it cracks
and breaks
and falls
they hopefully know
that i will be here
for them
waiting
ha i like it from the pups point of view and there are certainly things we could learn from them...as you did capture a bit of truth of us...
ReplyDeletethanks brian
Deletethe dog is always the best friend waiting for you at the most lonelly times

verification makes it really hard to comment. you'd get more comments if you turned it off. i had to do this several times to get it to work.
thanks zongik - i have removed the verification. certain things not very user friendly and also apparently not that easy to become a "follower".
DeleteI like your perspective...the last line nails the piece ~
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you ~

ReplyDeleteAw, animals will stick by you no matter what. Sweet.
ReplyDeleteTrue, dogs often look as though they're trying very hard to understand us.
ReplyDeleteAll the kings horses and men were busy tryimg to hunt the dog down, but he too, had transformed himself into a hen.
ReplyDeleteThrough the eyes of a dog.....i like that....we could probably learn a lot from the mind of a dog....
