Meet One of Donna’s Very Best Friends

Leaping Dogs

Exuberant beings
come into our lives,
preconceptions of love
and joy…

Celebrations
beyond the bounds
of reason.

If we let them
if we coax them
if we love them
back again.

Nurturing is the word
we’re looking for here.

And back again they come
in many shapes and forms
adding to the what of
who we are
and can become…
soft melodies
of our soothing songs;
or whirling skirling
daring reels that carry us along…

out of our pasts
over the years
into our futures
beyond all bounds
of stifling fear.

The thing about a loving stroke
is it stays with you,
those paused moments of…
sheer shared delight.
The sensations of adoration
tingling the nerve ends
of hand and fur.

Electricity that becomes
the what of who
we are.

Happy 90th Donna!
Diana & Craig
