She Cried
He took her there most days
They rowed out to his small yacht
They sat and drank take away lattes
She just cried a lot….
She was so full of sadness
Tormented by relentless fear
She was, oh so troubled
Her mind clouded and unclear
She liked it on the river
It gave momentary relief
Life seemed a little clearer
Though be it only brief
She saw them in the distance
Prayed they would come her way
Unbelievably without deviation
They were there without delay
Swimming underneath the small yacht
In water so clear and blue
So close they were touchable
He cuddled her and said,
“This is just for you”
They swam away as they came
A direct path to open water
She believed in her whole being
Those majestic creatures
Had sought her…
The emotions they evoked in her
Mere words cannot describe
With heart and face smiling
She sipped her latte
And just cried….
