daybreak

paddling through the breakers

I spy a fin

a moment of dread

turns to joy–

dolphins!

a whole pod,

and me.

bottom-turn,

digging fins in deep

dolphins pumping hard

fins cutting air

same wave

same planet

having fun

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I was sitting on my board after that special moment, I was wondering if I should write a poem about it.  Just then two dolphins porpoised right in front of me.  “Done,” I thought.  I wonder if it was the same two?
