Cozy Contemplations - 29. Chapter 29 Giver of Life
*
Giver of Life
Crushed diamonds crunch beneath our cautious weight
Catching sunlight
And casting off sparkles to makes squinting eyes water
Four feet, and two, break the hard, pristine surface
Intruding on the silence
Of a magical world of majestic sentinels frozen in time
A sudden crack sends four feet leaping and scampering
At ridiculous speed
Before just as suddenly stopping to add a joyous bark
The cold air is charged with energy and something else
A timeless connection
To the deep rooted rhythm of a presence immortal
She feels it too, I can tell, as she stands perfectly still
Leaning towards her nose
All her young senses on alert, absorbing nature’s magic
Filled to the brim, she bursts ahead, and I feel my age
Yet, I am still an infant
To this mother on whose broad back I plod proudly
Breathless, we arrive—a perfect spot to view the seasons
And reverence is recharged
As I examine our world through my companion’s eyes
My laughter rings forth at the acrobatic antics of my puppy
A bond, repeated over millennia
Has cemented as we navigate this ancient world in unmatched steps
“Come on, Cookie—let’s go home”
