As the sun begins its slow descent,
we step into the park, leashes in hand,
tails wagging a rhythmic beat,
paws patter softly on the welcoming earth.

The late afternoon sun throws long shadows,
stretching like lazy cats across the grass,
our steps trace the well-worn paths
where trees stand tall in silent observation.

Around us, the park lives in golden hours,
light filters through leaves, painting patterns on the ground,
while our companions, noses to the breeze,
decode the day’s lingering tales.

With every step, the sky transforms,
from vibrant blues to the soft blush of twilight,
colors deepen as daylight wanes,
urging us along with the promise of a show.

We move together, a quiet symphony of steps and breaths,
marked by the jingle of tags, the gentle panting of friends.
Her presence, a soothing balm to the week’s harsh edges,
makes the weight of days seem lighter, more bearable.

As the sun dips closer to the horizon,
casting everything in a warm, farewell glow,
the world turns a brilliant orange,
edging into deep pinks as the sun makes its final bow.

Night begins to whisper as it sinks out of sight,
side by side, we watch this daily miracle,
walking until the light fades completely.
In her company, the hard week slips away,
melted by each step, each breath,
in the park, where day ends with a flourish.
