every day this dog walked with her zen master
happy and assuredone day an accident struck
she lost a leg when a heavy rain pouredeventually she recovered
how long it took she chose to ignoreshe didn’t ask why
she wasn’t soreshe didn’t assess blame
for what she’d lostshe didn’t claim damages
for all that’d costshe didn’t seek revenge
to settle the scoreshe didn’t feel remorse
nor compare to beforeevery day she walks like a zen master
joyful and restoredevery step to her is new
with her three pawsjust as it was
when she had four
