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 So very 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 Hoped 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” The dolphins swam away….again without deviation A direct path into the open water She knew in her heart those majestic creatures Had sought her… The emotions they evoked in her Mere words cannot describe With heart and mind now smiling She sipped her latte And just cried….

I enjoyed reading your "She Cried" write. As a child, I always wanted one or two dolphins to play with. Animals can have healing power. Enjoy your day writing away.............

Who knows of inner fears that torment sorrowful souls? The last stanza leaves us wondering why her heart is smiling and yet she is crying …
