Dolphins In the Moonlight

Mother dolphin and her curious baby Gazing into the moonlit sky Smelling the sweet salty air While feeling gentle waves pass them by. Imagining the mysteries of the universe The infinite hope that lies within Silently teaching her baby As she holds him underneath her fin. A pair of dolphins, drifting in the sea Beautifully graceful, artistically elegant Two majestic mammals of the marine Who are deemed the most highly intelligent. Away they go as they begin swimming freely Within the ocean’s tranquility Dazzling creatures frolicking in the peace Because it's just mommy and her baby. Sleek bullets darting out of the water Creating silhouettes against the full moon. In the shimmering, sparkling bright darkness Baby listens for mommy’s high-pitched tune.
