For those who don’t know – Trigger is Kevin’s Guide Dog 😀
My dog yelps in his sleep.
Can a canine weep?
And what thoughts of joy or pain
Pass through his sleeping brain?
In an exstasy of sound and smell
You dwell.
The freshly roasted chicken, just out of reach is sheer hell
To my friend
Who’s end
Is food and play.
Your day
Will not be so long as mine,
Yet we humans whine
While you in the moment live
And give such love
To your god above
Who sits envying you your state of grace.
Would that I could change place
With you
My friend true.

I really don’t think it’s a coincidence that “dog” is “god” spelled backwards. When I grow up, I want to be canine. (My dog wags her tail in her sleep. It never fails to make me laugh. She’s always so happy.)

Oh, the age old question about animals and their emotions… Pavlov, Lorenz and co send their regards. 😉

When I was sixteen I wrote something similar about my then cat … seeing her sleeping and her paw moving … I can fully understand why Kevin just HAD to write his poem.
