In kindred souled companionship
woman and dog delighted
each affording the other
occasion to imbibe nature.
The dog gambolling,playful in shimmering shallows
a wet lovesome bundle of blonde.
Black shiny nose twitching, gathering scents
brown soulful eyes darting back and forth,
tail held high, wagging greetings
to the blue sun kissed sky.
Emerald winged dragonflies hover,
hither and thither at the waters edge
their stunning colours illuminated by
sun beams reflected.
A heron, majestic, stands proud
taking flight on grand span wings of freedom,
soaring fields and trees to sea.
Passing river to wood she notes
leaf laden branches fragmenting shafts of sunlight,
squirrels scamper in the canopy
birds chorus the joy of warm earth.
In kindred souled companionship
woman and dog delighted.
