Just my dog and I

I'm staggering... sideways
It's just my dog and I
I'm hearing thunder

... Feeling like the sky ...

We're lost in the woods
It's just my dog and I
Nobody feels susurrus
I meant: "so sorry for us!"

... I can't speak, not sure why ...

Can't say what I want to say
Perhaps it's better that way

Damn—it's raining hard now
We're lost in the dark
It started in the park
A damp thought soaked in the sun
We started to run

... Just my dog and I ...

Falling on the rocks
I'm releasing all the pain
Blood's coloring the rain
It's just my dog and I
She's watching me
Now I know why

... as my mind clears—like the sky ...

Clouds moving at each thought
Somehow I'd blocked my soul today
Put the soul back in the human court

It's time to return back home
But I won't walk now I can fly
My soul's back in control

... It's still just my dog and I ...

Just some quick notes on this one. It stems from today's #vss365 prompt word #susurrus. It's Anagha's second day hosting and this is a great word she has given the community to test our creative souls. And me being me, I wanted to do something unexpected. So I didn't use the word as it is meant (sorry!). I hope you will forgive me but understand that creative flow needs somewhere to go, even if it is in a different direction.

I found this very cathartic. If you have watched my outdoor videos, you will know that usually they are just my dog and me. I wanted to take that and twist it, pull from soulful emotions and create something that may help to educate and empathize with those who go through tough days. To show them there is a ray of light at the end of the tunnel once you realize human suffering comes from... the human side. Live through your soul and life takes on a whole different lens.

I need to go, my arm is hurting from creating when I should be resting it!

Love you!
