Dog meets god

I hear your voice
and I reach
into the darkness
I am blind
unable to see
and I hear your voice
calm and reassuring
but I can't find you
a sting in my neck
and I hear you cry out
my stomach drops
and I feel light as air
and suddenly
your voice is gone
and I can't hear you anymore
have I gone deaf
as well as blind
than I feel someone
take my collar off
and scratch the itchy hair underneath
I bark
thinking it's my master
and yet
no one answers
but the nice hand
continues to scratch
and I lick that hand
and am surprised to find
it doesn't taste like human
it tastes like dog
like cat
even like human and goat
every animal I have ever met
and it also tastes like pure water
and rough bark
and moist soft earth
and that was when
my sight returned
and that was when
I met the Creator.
