A Dolphin’s Path
Across blue waters wide,
Darting swiftly with the tide.
Oceans beckon, full of grace,
Leaping high, they race the waves.
Playing, laughing, wild and free,
Hoping for what lies at sea.
In the depths, their whispers hum,
Navigating where few come.
Silently they chart their way,
Paths of wonder, night and day.
At peace beneath the endless sky,
To distant shores, they always fly.
Homeward bound, yet always roam.

Splashing Goodbyes
Sprays of salt fill the air,
Parting waves with joyful flair.
Leaping high with gentle grace,
A dolphin’s smile, a fleeting face.
Shorelines watch their playful leaps,
Hearts hold memories that they keep.
In the distance, fading fast,
New adventures, waves are cast.
Goodbye, they splash, but never stay,
Bright beneath the ocean spray.
Yet their laughter never ends,
Eternally the sea’s best friends.
Silence follows as they play.

Hearts of the Sea
Hidden deep,
Ebb and flow,

Rising slow.

Full of cheer.
The sea sings
Endless song,
Alive with love,
Silent, strong.

Skimming the Surface
Sunlight dances, soft and bright,
Kissing waves in morning light.
In a flash, they rise and fall,
Mirthful arcs, the ocean’s call.
Moments pass, then swift and thin,
In a breath, a dolphin’s fin.
Now they glide, just out of sight,
Glimpses of their fleeting flight.

Skimming waves as days go by.

New adventures wait to be.
