Picture by Jim Warren

* * *

I swim beneath the ocean
Amongst waves of deepest green
This place is ever changing
With so much beauty to be seen

I travel beside large vessels
As I guide them out to sea
I am playful and intelligent
Many humans befriend me

And throughout the dead of night
You'll hear the whales' mournful cry
As the moon shines like a beacon
And the stars light up the sky

All too soon the night will end
As dawn brings her morning light
But for now I'll disappear
Beneath the covers of the night


I am in motion
I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
- Shawn Mullins

Sue, such an uplifting soft tone, yet filled with many images taking the reader for a float...tranquil and very beautiful.  Happy Weekend to you.

Dear Sue:  How wonderful for you to live where you can see dolphins in the wild. Your poem is great!  It makes me lonely for the ocean.

Love

Sue, I think I have a new favourite by you!
And not just because I love dolphins!
This is extremely beautiful and great imagery.
Hugs~

Dancing with you in the summer rain ~
