A Muse

Sadie’s Song



Birds and bugs, a grassy surround,

something flighty skimming the ground.



A bounding bright light,

don't know where it goes,

it sparkles and turns

then flits and glows.



First one, then a bunch

of trees and their branches

standing in line beside cows and horse ranches.



Run through the bushes

and glorious towers,

cascades of quick splashes and

bright-petalled flowers:

take me away and

make me lose hours.



Jumping and turning

all this way and that

heaven's the mystery

of nebulous cats.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Sadie was the most joyous, adventurous black lab you'd ever want to know.
