Rustic Vigilance

In the depths of earthy tones, a tale unfolds, Of loyalty and watchfulness, young and old. A terrier's gaze, with eyes of darkest brown, Guards the threshold, where shadows softly drown. The fur, a canvas of warm, golden light, Dances with leaves, in the gentle, fading sight. The ears, like sentinels of sound, Stand vigilant, alert to every ground. In this portrait, a story is told, Of faithfulness, through the seasons cold. A companion true, through joy and strife, A guardian of love, a beacon of life. The natural world, a backdrop serene, Framing the subject, in a peaceful scene. The photographer's art, a moment captures, Of stillness, where the heart's deepest raptures.
