Buddy's Life Lessons II: Bark at the Sky

while humans carry heavy weights within
their hearts, waking in cold sweats,
terrified of nighttime’s shadows,
a solution is simply found by getting
out in the fresh air;
Drenched by
cleansing rainfall, the body sheds
inner anxieties with each succeeding
thunderclap, the darkest thoughts
illuminated with each lightning bolt,
the complete union celebrated as
dog barks at sky and sky barks
back.

For those of you wondering what Buddy's life lesson I was...it was eating rawhide to deal with negative feelings.
