Can I play with you?
fuzzy face
innocent yet knowing eyes
whiskers full of wisdom
spirit born of play
We can frolic among the kelp
in beds upon a rolling sea
diving, twisting, and spinning
in hours of salty ballet
Then we relax, and
float
in the calm of Neptune's
gently rising and falling
with the pulse of Mother Earth
basking in the warm, nurturing sun
and burning blue
of Father Sky
The mighty waves crash
and carve mountains
into jagged monuments of stone
and shatter shells
into beaches of coarse sand
while beyond the breakers we live
in our fuzzy, frolicking heaven
We neither reap nor sow
we simply need to be
the joyous creatures we are
embraced in and embracing
the circle of life
