The puppy and the ocean of love
I woke up scared.
There was a monster there.
I tried to run and get away,
but my eyes met the monsters gaze,
and I saw that he was
a big puppy dog.
I saw excruciating fear in his eyes.
What are you doing here, honey?
Look how terrified you are,
barking so much and so loud.
Who left you out here?
Hungry, lonely, looking so shabby?
Was it my Mother?
Was it my Father?
Or did I?
I am so sorry, honey,
please don’t bite me now.
I did not see you, love!
I thought you were a monster.
You kept barking and
everyone told me:
Don’t ever look! Just run!
I wasted so much time
trying so hard
to get away from you,
and you are just a puppy
who needs an ocean of love.
