Domestic spirit

The Domestic Spirit

this is the domestic spirit

this small

frail

seemingly useless

descendant of the noble wolf

 

it eats

and sleeps

and stinks up your room

but its heart rules over all else

 

it loves you

and trusts you

and comes when you call

 

this is the domestic spirit

this is man's best friend

either you have indigenous american roots or you are a very spiritual person. either way you have written a nice homage to your beloved pet. a dog can also act as a spirit guide, you know. treasure that relationship, because their love and devotion knows no bounds. very nice write.

Thats lovely.I so totally agree 'its heart rules over all else.'We had dogs too and this is such a beautiful poem dedicated to your dog.
