Singing
--Mei-mei Berssenbrugge

1

All day, I feel the approach of dolphins; their thoughts are in my mind.

When I swim, my cells attune to them, because ocean’s full of vibrations that transmit to water in my body.

It’s a repository of primordial data from space; all creatures in water can access the Akasha.

Tones entering my cells transform into feeling, an awareness of two worlds at once.

I send back my thought, picture, feeling, and together we form new vibrations of knowledge that had been dormant in me.

They’re here!

I swim out of the cove toward them.

So happy, I hum, and their answering chorus reverberates across water; we know each other.

One dolphin is still, far below me.

Her form takes shape, as she rises silently in bright blue, motionless, sunlit.

Thank you for showing yourself, fulfilling a deep longing within my deep memory.
