Poems
Jan 2022
let sleeping dogs lie
the dog
resting peacefully
in his crate
is content
with being
shut in;
essentially
trapped
only permitted freedom
at the behest
of another
there was not always
such serenity
behind these bars;
there was howling
gnashing
whining
caged like that
could not have been
further
from finding comfort
there were rewards
on occasions
though it was unclear
just why
these were offered
and when
the next might appear
with time
it became easier
to simply accept
the limitation
and wait
unenthusiastically
for the next
moment of joy
to come around
however long
that
might
be
#life

#acceptance
#difficulty
#struggle
#patience
#trapped
