dream walkings

Manhattan Beach, California – 1997

Gleaming like quicksilver they glide through the water effortlessly.

Barely a glimpse was caught of them as they made their way out to Sea.

Heartbroken I was, at just missing their appearance shortly after sunrise.

Silently I begged them to return and I fancy they heard my plea.

Dolphin doesn’t seem an adequate name for them.

Surely in another language there is a more beautiful word for this mesmerizing creature?

Gracefully they return to share a few more moments of their adventurous morning with me.
