What I Learned from my Dog

It is 4pm

Dave the dog is in the kitchen

Chasing rainbows

As he does every day at this time

 

A prism hangs in the kitchen window

Creating a multitude of rainbows

On the kitchen floor

 

Dave the dog thinks the rainbows

Come to play with him

He has never caught one

That does not dampen his enthusiasm

 

I envy Dave

I would like to devote

Some time each day

To play with abandon

 

Giving my entire being

To the beauty of the moment

With no thought for productivity

Chasing rainbows
