The Dolphin Always Stays

Snow falling on the glass window
Strong winds blow
She sleeps, she wakes, she sleeps again
Turning and tossing each night
 
Graceful sleep, eyes closed
She yearns for love
Arms bent, body curled
She dreams of love
 
Shooting stars play in her mind
As the time slowly drifts by
Her head on my stomach, I breathe
She awaits her inevitable cry
 
In and out the breath goes
She shakes and twitches
Mouth closed, she uses her nose
She wants to sleep at night
 
Golden hair, pink shirt
Lying still on the couch
No pain, no one’s hurt
Relaxed, with sleep tonight
 
I turn the page quietly
I am conscious of my breath
She begins to twitch again
I am conscious of my breath

Dreaming aimlessly, deep in thought
A stress-free world seems real
All the duties are forgotten
And we’re on the beach for real
 
The waves crash, dolphins jump
Into the sky they soar
Sand in her toes, she flexes her feet
She walks into the water's roar
 
The dolphin stops to say hello
Her feet are clenching sand
The dolphin stares into her eyes
The girl lends out a hand
 
She takes her in, she feels so free
A rush of blood to the head
Crystal clear water shines
I hope this day won’t end
 
Heart beats fast
Breath slows down
Relax
Have faith within
 
Submerged underwater

Droplets

Trinkle

Down

Asleep under the sea
 
Fish surround her
With friendly smiles
Happy to see her stand
 
The dolphin stares into her eyes
Oh boy, this day is grand
 
She approaches the surface
Her heart is racing
She wants the people she knows
 
Her breath slows, her head rises
Above the surface water
 
Water drips from golden hair
Golden droplets hit the sea
She lies awake, she lies free
Only now is she able to see
 
Reality approaches like a sudden intruder
She looks to the sky for hope
Her mind distracted, she turns to see
The dolphin say goodbye
 
Her mouth was open but now is closed
Her lips shield her teeth
She makes a smile and all the while
Has the feeling underneath
 
Joyfulness hides in every day
Behind roads, trees, and under the water
You seek you find, if you want
To talk to the dolphin today
 
Miss the water, miss the joy
Every day is a gift
Miss the dolphin, miss the sand
We miss the beach and its mist
 
She sleeps now and soon will wake
But the dolphin always stays
The smile can sometimes fade away
But the dolphin always stays.
