Dolphins: A Poem

Love13Reading

Dolphins, Dolphins on the sea
I see them, see them, far they seem
Blue waves, blue waves flowing keen
Low sky, low sky smile in glee

Dolphins, Dolphins on the sea
Good smiles, good smiles leaving gleam
Far, far mountains, their hearts buried
I love them, love them now you see

Dolphins, dolphins on the sea
Counting, counting now to three
I know, I know ships they mean
I see, I see you must flee

The Eye on Minbar section of your periodical, and your Captain teaching Delenn new and colorful vocabulary allow them to bond, in the early steps of their coming closeness.  And, each learns more of who the other really is.  From gathering needed intelligence proactively, as she does, to the colorful language that he uses, each is surprised by the other.

 

Delenn took charge of acting on our message, as…
