Dog’s Prayer To A Human: My Golden Compass

by Jon Katz
My Golden Compass
My Golden Compass

This is my dog’s prayer, you are my Golden Compass,

watch me run and spin, watch me jump and run,

Do I not always return to the same place?,

to you,

so you may always know where you are.

Everywhere I go, I point to love and enlightenment,

to smiles and connection in this fearful world,

on the path, to the trees, in the water, underneath

the birds and the animals and to the people I pass.

In every city and town, every country I carry

my stories, my compass spins, I will dance

and dance my dance, please watch me sing and spin

my ancient strands of truth.

I will come and go,

I will always return.

I am an emissary of the divine, a divine agent,

My feet are ecstatic and filled with the energy of the cherubim,

Just place yourself beneath my bounds and leaps,

and I will sweetly rain my love and attention upon you.

I will whirl your fears and loneliness into nothingness,

toss your darkness unto my golden cup,

I will gaze at everything with clear and brilliant eyes,

and let you touch my beautiful woolly coat.

My only duty to this world is to forever serve

you love and hope.

Come and watch me spin and whirl,

you are my Golden Compass.
