Dogs Say It Better
Dogs say it better
with their eyes and their tails.
I say it better while asleep,
dreaming my way into flight
through the subconscious world
where my restive mind may find
reason in the unreasonable,
and my unconscious being becomes free
of any conscious burden,
so that I may wake refreshed
ready to take the dogs outside,
where we all can appreciate
this glorious world.
