Dolphin

Lost in the cold, big sea,

Trying to find my pod of dolphins,

Floating and swimming

On the top of the sea,

Searching long and wide,

Day and night.

In the dark,cold sea,

All alone and sad,

Afraid of never finding my pod.

Seeing a glimpse

Of something -

Was that them?

Smelling the sea

And longing for them - The salt sea of tears

Of never seeing them again.

Smelling the long, cold sea,

And other creatures.

Tasting the fish around me

And longing to share

The meal with others.

Touching the sea as I slap the water.

Feeling sad and alone

Longing to be with my pod.

Waiting to be together again

As we always should have been

And never apart.

Always searching

Until the day we're all together

In one big pod.
