Dogs On The Couch

Those times that I've known
come back to visit
at the craziest of moments.
Eyes open, eyes closed.
Sleep, during conference calls,
in the resonance of a phrase during
a movie...anytime, anywhere.
Tugging on my heart
and spirit
keeping the door open
to subjectivity's world
of angels, answered prayers
and tragedy nothing can explain.
A good dose of luck doesn't hurt
either.
The dogs have long been asleep
on the couch beside me
this evening
not noticing that I've decided
to turn myself into one of
these angels
and ignore the threat
of reality.
