Dolphin Waltz
Called to the sea by silver moon
Vastness draws me, takes me soon
Blanketed by salty foam
Dolphins call me home

Hurled by ocean waves so deep
Shine of stars is mine to keep
Night is calling plaintively
Dolphins cry with me

Sparkling waters tickle me
Pools of rescue twirling me
All my worries float away
Dolphins must come play

Aquatic creatures frolic
The motion like pure magic
Plunging deep into new sight
Dolphins swim all night

Fantasy forms in the mist
Cast into the wild abyss
Swallowed by their captive play
Dolphins called away


This piece uses 7/7/7/5 syllable count
Is similar to a Japanese song called a Dodoitsu
Couplet rhyming was used
