A dimension
Of guilt parades behind me
Collarless, he ways his tail
Puppy dog eyes
He demands my attentions
But the winds of change
Catch me, fill my sail
Still he swims behind
Not knowing I wander blind
All my attention I devote
To ignoring him
To sailing my boat
When finally I cave
Giving him the love he craves
My vessel becomes whole
Being forgiving, I fold
Guilt fades, becoming the way
All the worry and shame
Are cuddled and tamed
When I no longer defend
In the end
They're man's best friend
About the Creator
Daniel Power
I'd like to share a collection of my poetry that I've written and accumulated throughout the years that may date all the way back to my days in grade school. I hope you enjoy your time spent perusing and pondering my mental meanderings.
