Joyful play

Twenty years ago this month,
the dolphins in the Gulf of Mexico
played around our boat,

and we were honeymooners
amazed
at life.

This month,
celebrating our beginning,
we rode a ferry boat in the same Gulf,
a hundred and fifty miles farther west,
and suddenly
the dolphins were playing
around us.

Full circle.
Twenty years.
I pray for many more.

(Both years
and dolphins.)

I would like to say more to you,
but I am experiencing a small problem with my plan
to return to blogging.

Only that, though.
It will be okay.

And meanwhile, in the Gulf and in us
all is becoming made well.
