Here We Are



I never quite grew up all the way
Died as a kid but then came back to stay
A wild child without many dollars
But with wild dogs without any collars
Extracted from the ordinary
To come to be extraordinarily

With Marisol and Bowser as we
Explore furthermore than ever before

Here we are now and we know what for
Is being itself doing what we can
So we can say we tried anyway
Being ourselves having been to be more
Being two old dogs and one old man
Seeing beyond what is being absurd

Our snouts to the sky looking skyward
Following our noses curiously

Seeing faraway not being far
Hoping for the best forgetting the rest
Sunrising east and sunsetting west
Getting to see the extraordinary
Under the stars we understand how
What we wonder about is here and now

The faraway stars know how to be
We three do too now and so here we are

This poem extols the virtues of appreciating the "mundane" things in life that are, in reality, bits of magic. Most people don't take the time to relax and just let it be, as expressed in your piece. Nice one!

Could be just three old dogs. And the sun certainly does seem to come up in the East and settle in the West, even though it's our earth that is turning.

Omega Factor by John Henning
