Milo wouldn’t let me sleep for a 9 minute snooze.
He just wasn’t having it this morning –
wanting breakfast,
wanting out,
wanting someone to chase him around the couch
in his circle-game of dog-is-so-much-faster-than-human.
Standing in the back yard
with his leash looped around a single finger,
wondering how I teleported here from the warm sheets,
I caught the moon
hanging in a neighbor’s tree –
a lone light, bright and full and smiling softly.
Milo looked up at me and wagged,
somehow having known
I needed this peace
more than sleep.
He is such a good little Zen dog… :)

I love puppy dogs! What a great poem!
isn't that something. I can remember taking our dog out on a leash and it would always be a strange experience during the early morning...but so memorable. glad God met you there...and so did Milo
He is great! Love your poem today, sweet and an unforgettable morning to be grateful for.
