Solid Hearts

Walks are a daily ritual that my dog Stella and I have come to relish
And today as we walked, we came upon something that gave me pause
and made me smile
and while I gazed at the wonder of a random and unexpected hoof print in the frozen earth
my companion came to see what had me so enraptured
and while I marveled at the sight
she stumbled into that which held me captive
and again it stirred a pondering that lead to inspired insight
and as her presence grazed the print
a swaddling of sentiment enveloped me
and as her paws met the hoof print that was frozen in the earth,
it gave me pause again
for it was then, that the message was clear...

she fell into my heart and has filled it
with the simplest of pleasures in the most extraordinary way
