Dolphin Dreams
By: Noah Eaton
7/11/01

Look down into the waters, what do you see?
Toddling gentle brothers swimming in pleasant dreams
An’ surfing the reefs and coming out to play with their mermaid siblings
Who hop on for a magic ride under the sea

Princess Pearl, a mermaid jolly and beautiful
Summons her brothers to her garden castle
She said let there be such a day
To see your dreams come wishing away

Polishing an oyster shell spick and span
Holding a pearl in her fingers, softening it in hand
A light escapes her fingertips
Inviting the Keeper Of The Rainbow to this abyss

An’ her brothers dive upward like kittens at play
Diving out under the water to kiss this velvet ray
An’ the mermaids hop aboard the dolphins
Brotherly love illuminating rainbow visions

An’ the mermaids kiss their brothers on the nose
An’ the dolphins hearts shimmer in silver and gold
Gentle waters alight in every hue
Silver streaks tying family knots in tune

Mermaid laughter while the sun blankets their emotions
Dolphin dreams swimming about in silver mist
Come with me and let us see
Dainty dreams these dolphins bring...

Not just for children, Noah. I love the fantasy element, and dolphins are so wonderful. Really special poem.
