Allies or Emissaries - Dec. 24, 2022

haven’t many of us asked

for a “sign” from God

then watched the dog’s tail

thump in morse code

or wanted to touch Him

with our fingers

while they combed through fur

or traced the softness of a belly

if man’s best friend could talk

why would they?

their presence alone

a clear enough message from divinity

that words would muddy

with logic and

interpretation
