The Storykeeper


quote:
"To really understand dolphins, one must study them on their own terms. …the sea is a realm whose vast spaces are defined acoustically. Cetaceans communicate over hundreds of miles, making theirs a truly global society. Surrounded by this universal conductor of communication, marine mammals develop unusually strong bonds to one another. …” Jean-Michel Cousteau


Layers of yesteryear should invade
this, my soul, but some
ballooning strain of quiet entered
and I shrugged to shake it off,
to give some sky to my chords,
to know if some wind would carry silent songs
to attach again reason to life…

and that is when the poet entered,
who dallied for a day or hours
with dolphins on his sharing plate,
and he cajoled me,

take a piece of time

capturing yet another streaming dreamer…



So it was, robustly, justly pleasant
when I went roaming,
just yesterday or when? The day before, perhaps,
speaking of dolphins and water
and ways of souls to meta particles
surrounding all,

when it did not surprise me to look up
even though I might trip on terra, to see my
wants and needs floating above me,
in the most spacious of spaces
albeit most obvious of places,
leaving me traces of stories to imagine…

and I kindred my ken with soul
to the need of the promise of goal
then honor the dolphin ~
a whispered,

I will not forget.

Dear Sissie...because of you, I won't forget either.  How wonderful to have scene those heavenly clowd creatures, I am quite jealous!!

"when it did not surprise me to look up
even though I might trip on terra, to see my
wants and needs floating above me,
in the most spacious of spaces
albeit most obvious of places,
leaving me traces of stories to imagine…"

You look up and don't fall...I look at my feet and they trip...go figure.  I loved this poem and photo, sissie!!!

Sunshine,
   I peeked at this before, but didn't read it because I knew it called for time to savor.  Delicious dreams, my friend.  I've been missing the quiet of the clouds--you inspire me to take the time to enjoy and to dream...  Thank you for your inspiration.

Oh, so well done. The repeating, internal rhymes especially.  Lovely.  And the feel is quiet, calm, and full of wonder.
