the buddha of love...


wet to the bone, 
out in the cold rain alone;
this the price for friendship be?

eternal hours of longing, 
for one look of the awaited;
days of scorn forgotten in an instant.

o' wordless beast,
vilified mangy cur;
Buddha of love are thee.

***

call them mute. but their actions speak louder than all our words put together. irrespective of the duration & distance of the parting; all is forgiven in an instant and the joy of meeting the human companion - even a momentary one - breaks through in waves of ecstasy. there is no better teacher of unconditional love than a dog. 

i miss the dog who used to sleep outside my doorstep.
