Where Dolphins Dance
Again the work starts
as soon as you open your eyes in the morning.
Hopefully you got some good rest last night.
why go into the city or the fields
without first kissing the Friend
who always stands at your door?
It takes only a second.
Habits are human nature –
why not create some that will mint gold?
Your arms are violin bows always moving.
I have become very conscious upon
whom we all play.
thus my eyes have filled with warm
soft oceans of divine music
where jeweled dolphins dance
then leap into this world.
