White Dog

Yesterday our neighbors large white dog,

I dog I always said hello to- a kind dog-

Died from a rattlesnake bite.

Protecting her people

Or Haven, the two year old

Who lives in a tiny home with his mom

On the same property.

Or, me…..who walks the road.

“““““““““““““““““““

Is death just our fate-

One day it is simply upon us and off we go

A unsuspected surprise

(In a good way.)

I do know the tunnel is filled with light

I have seen it- white.

One thought on “White Dog

  1. Hi Sally….first off, what a brilliant name…Haven!
    A special Mom found that name for her child.
    Everything has their dharma….the loyalty of the dog is paramount…and the striking of a rattler is too.
    I would much rather be bound in loyalty than have the freedom of the deadly strike.
    However that is a small personal preference since everything is God. thanks for your muse-ing Sally.
