Through Our Eyes

My dog and I

By Lyrical LizardPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Seeing the world through the eyes of a dog

Seems like nothing but gray, but fog

And yet some days I know

Whether or not it’s shown

That I see gray as well

“The color is right there”

They say,

“It’s impossible to miss”

And yet, although they hide it,

They know this abyss

But a dog knows no different

And the life they live is current

They care not of future days

Oh, just simply bask in yellow rays

Of the glowing sun

And sure, some days I see it all

Every orange, or green, or red

The hues melt themselves into my brain

So the next time that I see gray

I can dream of them again

Oh, I’ve coughed up all my insides

My head, with yours, collides

And I know you have color too

Don’t you?

That’s nothing to hide

Canine that lye next to me

Sometimes we share our eyes

We see blue, yellow, gray, and brown

Although, some days are solid gray

Other days, the rainbow is my playground

Now it’s time to break from writing

As the colors today are fighting

Monochromatic Earth stands no chance

My dog and I, how we shall dance

In the sea of color
