A #dolphin in the world – v3

Trapped for this time, now, living,
a dolphin in the world, moving,
too pale for the sun, burning,
driven from the sea, the water
up onto the land, an alien,
living as a mortal, a human,
to walk this solid ground…
 
Drawn to the water by his spirit,
returning to the water’s edge,
feeling the pull of the tides, the waters,
standing on the shore, peering,
searching the water for movement,
looking for home, connection once more,
to what once was, what might have been,
to the mystery, the truth out there…
