Sometimes I only have a ½ of a second to react…

Sometimes I only have a ½ of a second to react…
That’s why my ears are always moving to and fro…
I might have only one sweet chance…
My instincts are never wrong.

There is something out there in the dark…
Maybe a rabbit, a snake or a squirrel…
In a flash I’m off bounding and racing…
My legs like propellers as I let go of the ground.

I race through the pleasant aromas of the meadows
I can only imagine something as soft as a marshmallow but much juicier…
Contemplating each step before me…
Looking forward to adding another pelt to my pile.

Ooof! Then I wake up, just before I catch my prey.
And think, WTF just happened? (us pups use the word frog, instead of you know what…)
I’m guessing that…

Because I’ve already seen most of the things in nature…
I need dreams to bring me something brand new…
To blend my life together…
Scrape away all my peeling paint memories.

Dreams can also help you…

Dreams can help you work through issues and help erase the scar in your heart…
Cover you like a big, gray blanket…
Be a celebration of the not yet done…
I pray you always have pleasant ones.

I love you,

Annie
