The Essence of Bruno

 

  Bruno doing what he does best!

BRUNO…

In the summer sun-basking,                                                                    

as he listens to birds singing.

In the cool river, refreshing,

watching Daphne swimming, as he practices his fishing.

 In the sultry evening celebrating,

with a watermelon he’s long been awaiting.

On  dirt road, open-air, country drives he’s contemplating,

his thoughts interrupted by adventures he’s anticipating.

And as I watch him, intently, I am taken;  

enchanted by his essence:

 quiet, gracious, gentle, stoic-fighting, life-loving.

I catch him smirk-

with a devilish grin,

and a twinkle in those cognac eyes.

He takes a deep breath–

 and Thanks God to be Alive!
