At night
our little black dog
snuggles between us
lies on his back
and snores loudly
snip, brush, snip
around his furry face
Bodhi loves it all
tilts his head way back
crooning to the moon
Bodhisattva
means, Buddha in training...'
they say all good dogs
go to heaven
I hope to meet him there

I love writing--It's my joy, my therapy--my confession. I'm a performer, dancer, yoga and meditation instructor, write a poetry column for Rafu Shimpo. Growth and love of life is a key to my happiness.
