Dog Love: To The Human I Love

by Jon Katz
The Human I Love
The Human I Love

You are the human I love,

my love for you lives inside of me,

I feel no anger for you,

no resentment,

no fatigue or weariness.

My love for you does not change,

or wither.

I lean as close to your body as I can,

I drink in your smells, your feelings.

I think of you all the time,

when you are here, when you are not.

I go with you wherever you go,

in my heart,

in your heart.

I will always lean my soul,

as close to you as I can get,

my love for you is without words,

for you, for me,

it us beyond your consciousness,

or understanding.

But my love for you is our language,

our vows,

our bond, our reality, we don’t need the words.

When humans fail you,

or life empties your spirit,

My eyes see the wondrous truth,

of who you really are.
