Until that day

Photography—Maryline Roux

Until that day

. . . when . . .

the World stopped

to touch, to hug, to kiss

I did not know—

 

 

Until that day

. . . when . . .

my Dog and I met for

the first-time face to face

I did not know—

 

 

Until that day

. . . when . . .

we felt our aloneness

whispering new silences

I did not know—

 

 

Until that day

. . . when . . .

a paw became a hand,

a hand became a paw

I did not know

 

 

I did not know the depth

I did not know the force

I did not know the vastness,

the amplitude, the magnitude,

the immensity of love and tenderness

my Dog had for me;

until that day.
