My Echoes

Finally listened to you, carefully.

And you were
just a delicate puppy yapping, needing to be pet and held.

Now I know you are
my soft, gentle puppy.

With you,
walking outside feels more vivid.

You see things I couldn’t see,
and smell things I couldn’t smell.

With you,
I can experience a richer world.

With you, everything settles whole.
