Animal Dolphin

A guide and protector -
I’m a soul connector
and your pain is known to me.
From mates I rarely stray;
in waves I love to play.
Join me! Find joy in the sea.

I think the dolphin, in your poem, embodies joy, protection, and deep emotional connection. It's calling you to embrace community and playfulness, reminding you that by connecting with others and allowing for vulnerability ("your pain is known to me"), you can find true happiness and a sense of belonging, like the dolphin in its sea home. Congrats!

Thanks, much appreciated I love. Intelligent animals with human like characteristics but I felt an elephant as spirit animal would be rather strange. That was my other choice!

Dolphins are such wise creatures. Some of the dolphin shows I have watched made my jaw drop. Great entry.
