DRINKING ALCOHOL TAUGHT ME HOW TO FLY
THEN IT TOOK AWAY THE SKY

DANCING DOLPHIN

THE SEA...AND ME
 

Light peeped once
from clouded eastern sky
like a blink
Day had just awakened.

Miles stretched each way
From proud, quiet bay
To immensity of sea.
THIS! for lone Peep--me

Barely discerned, that flash of first-light
As were--as if being switched on.
 
To muse of rosy fingered heavens
In number of thousands
Swam splashing silvered minnows
 
Next, in silent awe I saw a dolphin
Followed by two more seeming
To rise and fall in unison
Sliding under and above
Happy and free at home in the sea
 
Absorbed totally in my musings
I began almost not hearing bird-songs

JOY flowed through my veins
Into my heart--overcame!
No description
Possible

Still delightful frolicking porpoises
These happenings in near-silence

Earliness of it all first caught my
Attention, until silent sounds of nature
Brought me into this one reality:
Today, I have not had a drink. 

Neither had I to even think
about it. 

Mine is to wait--and
Be ready for God's next move
In my life...and yours!
