Dolphin Diaries . . .


A li'l princess sat
On the brink of a pool
Sleepy eyes, morning dew
She set her eyes
On the pristine blue

Ride you, I shall
to the waves, she told
And took a dive
Oh! Behold . . .

Eyes wide open,
I watched the show
And saw her tame
The expansive flow

Dolphin's grace
Mermaid’s charm
You tap deep waters
You fear no harm?

She splashed and smiled
With a knowing wink
She beckoned me closer
To the overflowing brink

Touch the water,
Feel the surge
Whisper to it,
Your deepest urge.

Not always we win
With conquest on mind,
Surrender to the currents
With faith so blind

They’ll show you wonders
You never knew were
And take you places
Your heart will stir . . .

She leapt and left
As I watched her go
My turn to dive
I take a bow . . .
