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 …
