I do not have children

So I cannot speak to that 

Intense connection

But in my own little life,

The exquisite essence of love

Distils into a random moment

When a dog walks into a room

As you sit at a table

Working or sipping coffee

And curls into a tight little ball

At your feet.

A silken ear flops gently across your toes

A paw hooks around your ankle.

A warm little body sighs contentedly

And drifts off to sleep,

Each heartbeat flowing into you.

It may happen every day, or just about,

This quiet, ordinary moment,

This simplest gesture of trust and affection,

But each time brings a sweeping tide

Of indescribable emotion,

So pure, so sweet, so visceral

It makes your heart ache.
