about a dog....

how do you tell a dog

how much you love its open show of affection?

A dog, nearing an year, already attained its youth physically,

but mentally still in a half puppy playfulness...

she is friendly, with everyone, as she had grown up so far,

in a relatively peaceful atmosphere, thanks to many humans..

and, always ready to play, run around, attention seeking

and at times, willing to just lie down and relax...

and raise her eyes in a soulful way, when awakened...

and, when you have to leave her at home,

as you have to go out on your own...

the dog, knows you are not taking her with you..

and looks at you, without anger, or hurt,

but only an innocent feel of her own sadness...

it hurts you to leave her like that... as she stands

silently..

and you remember, the other people, you have hurt

lashed out in your anger, demand, anything..

that same hurt, hits you, as you helplessly leave her

and walk ahead, alone, lost in thoughts..

wish i could be as non-judgmental as such a dog,

a state, where i am not wallowing in blame & pity

fill up my balloon of frustration, confusion i.e insecurity...

and i still walk away, realizing, whats being judgmental,

and wishing to practice it, even more in future..
