Listening to every heart

She & He

She and He, the pair they be
He whistles to her clicking
Like a pair of aquatic loves
Close by her side he’s sticking

The captain of the sailing craft
Said “now keep a close eye for
The dolphin and his mate as
They rarely come to shore,

But watch for their silvery fin
And their bottle-nose,
If’n we’re lucky, come this day,
We’ll see a pair up close.”

With fingers crossed, hope in heart,
I prayed to see them play
A lovely dolphin and his mate,
And to hear them click away

    

Come they did, up to the sloop,
A dolphin and his mate
I think I see the loving there
A natural sort of state

He nuzzled her, then raced to win
A game they seemed to play
Then he let her win a round
As she let him have his way

To glide in water silky smooth
‘neath the sun and sky
in one’s own slip-liquid world
then to catch a dolphin’s eye

you know their grin shall follow you
to lift your heart the whole day through

You know that I don't have a clue about
dolphins?  Right?  Right!....Yes, reminding
me of those days across the ocean blue...

They are awesome animals, aren't they?

Thanx KJ...for a spendiforous post..

Seems the dolphins are onto something here!


Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely and complete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me
