Water girl

.  
dolphins play, circling riptides  
spouting their curiosity  
next to me and from behind,  
 
blowholes that rise from  
the rolling hills of deep ocean,  
carrying me through fields  
 
where their young cling  
to each other, laughing aloud  
at how much a plaything  
 
they see this species is,  
so out of my depths  
even as they welcome me

I said this to Grace earlier during the middle of my night, I'm sure she won't mind if I share it:
"I love anything to do with the sea and anywhere it meets with the land.  My mother used to call me "water girl"....a girl who swam in the Pacific all the time, always too far from the beach, scaring my family.  But I knew I had nothing to fear."
