Z's Human Embrace...


His eyes show humility as
he searches the surroundings,
his instinct is to hide for that
is all this creature has known

Caged for six years by an inhuman
by one who does not know his warm
beating heart, his mind nor his soul –
yes, God created him with a canine soul

Discovered by one who will love him,
bringing to him freedom of exploration,
his captive visions photographed from his
cold metal encasement - he called home

Today, he is learning slowly what life is
all about as he romps and plays discovering
the love and touch - of human embrace,
from a human that saved his canine heart -

the human named him Z
