Deep water, flooded culverts,
young pup unleashed on a highway.
I turn to you, spaniel-eyed,
heart wide, blood pounding
through -- thrilled, yet terrified
Tangled sheets, a battleground,
love's struggle -- twining testament --
lovely proof framed on a wall
above: love's consequence
A sham -- it's all been shallows
softly suffocated on pillows
to the sounds of trees
sighing quietly in the breeze.

My Magpie is Here
You got me from the very first stanza
"Deep water, flooded culverts,
young pup unleashed on a highway.
I turn to you, spaniel-eyed,
heart wide, blood pounding
through -- thrilled, yet terrified"
That is how we found and rescued this spaniel dog of mine....
I guess we can relate and read into this for how it effects us -- it is raw and wide open with emotions
Nicely done magpie.
Love your art.
Cheers,
Joanny
