Dolphin Magic

  Dolphin Magic

I went out into the Bay 
To fish and to play
With the wind and the waves
A passing school of Dolphins
Joined me and joyfully accepted
The fish I offered them 
Then suddenly disappeared.

The next day I set out for some distant shore.
With clouds passing me by one by one.
The seagulls call I could not ignore.
The wind and the waves joined forces with a roar.
That hurried me on the way.

Froth flying from on top of the mighty waters.
The gale had sprung up tearing at the sails.
I thought the main mast would bend and break.
If I did not lower the sheets fast enough.

Through the rain splashed waves
A school of Dolphins surrounded me. 
They ran ahead of me, showing the way.
Although I could not understand why.
I followed them, until suddenly they turned 
And waved goodbye

Now right ahead of me I make out land. 

A giant’s hand the storm lifted the boat almost 
Out of the raging sea wind and waves hurled me 
Over a reef of barrier rocks, 
Into a silent Lagoon, safe and free.

If I live to a hundred I can never forget.
What the dolphins did for me.
