Pools of Love


Pools Of Love

Deep pools of dark umber,

             unfathomable love,

                         forgiving ,

                                         unchanging,

                                                     unceasing,

LOVE.


Every move drawn into the inner depths,

 watching,

                  following,

                                      waiting,

                                                           shadowing.

My every motion.



The world went out,

               they came in,

                         stayed,

                                            forever loyal.

Understanding when all understanding seemed lost.

Hearing and knowing the unspoken words

Silently

             wordlessly

                                    these pools of love,

                                               spoke volumes,

                                                                     in my solitude.

Deep pools of umber Love.

The eyes of my companion ,

friend.

The dark deep eyes of my dog.



This blog is linked to my other where I tell the story behind this painting. I hope you do not find it too self indulgent.

  1. Ralph, I post words and pictures of Angie all the time on my blog.. Why? .. the words you have written are just the way it is..between a human and their dog. It's unconditional love, loyalty not matter what you look like or how you feel.

  3. Rien de plus fidèle que son toutou... Je crois que tout comme moi, Ralph, votre chien n'a pas une place d'animal dans votre vie, mais une place d'humain, n'est-ce pas ?
