When you have
anchored your very you-ness
in love
yet
find this day, you are so perfectly ensconced
in the disastrous-ness of a
potentially combustible
bad mood
and despite warning those in
close proximity
of highly explosive materials contained
the dogs still insist on being underfoot
and refuse to heed all warnings
forcing one to internalize ire
and smoke repeatedly
to rise
from one’s ears
in appropriate response
each of your furry companions
then curls up on the floor
and promptly goes to sleep
not the least bit
bothered
by your
bluster
out to the garden
for a necessary bit
of fresh air
relax your jaw,
release your shoulders
breathe
it is then that you
come to be reminded of
kindness
and how small
seemingly insignificant things
can also
bring you back around
to the unconditional
-ness
of
love ♥
