Sailing Home with Dolphins

Sailors told stories, of the creatures

They once saw. Mythological figures

In the vastness of the ocean,

Owners of the waters.

Sailors recounted of shapes and

Colors, never seen by men.

Creatures who kept them company,

On those long trips.

I close my eyes, and imagine them.

Dolphins swimming in the distance,

Coming to our ship, moving cautiously

Towards us.

I close my eyes, and feel the waves

Move, smell the salted waters,

Hear the dolphins’ song

Approaching.

We are traveling back home,

The ocean will always take us back

Home. The dolphins come to us,

They lead the way.
