Will You Go Out With Me, Fido? Poem by Raj Arumugam

Will You Go Out With Me, Fido?



Will you go out with me,
faithful Fido?
A little sunshine
never hurt anyone

Will you venture out
into wide open space, Fido?
You can prance about
while I walk in the park

Will you come listen
to the birds on the branches, Fido?
You can wonder at butterflies
while I attempt meaning in the birds

Will you come for the air,
loving Fido?
And we'll return home - you more alive,
and I for only a time refreshed

But what we come back to, Fido,
what we come back to -
O Fido, do you sense
what we come back to always?
