Today the Dolphins Came to Play
by Wayne Marshall
Today the dolphins came to play    
I watched them jump for joy 
   It seemed just then,
they were wise old men  
  and I, a foolish boy   
Atop the mighty waves they danced 
   to the rhythms of the moon    
in harmony with the song of the sea     they played in perfect tune  
  Behind me fast cars rushed on by     towards some other time and place     What wonders do we never see     that stare us daily in the face?     Today the dolphins came to play  
  I never felt so small  
  and yet so grand, bare feet in the sand 
   a vital part of the all
