Beside a murky waterway,
Beneath a pewter sky,
With the cold breeze slicing through our clothes,
We watch the boats sail by -
Out towards the ocean,
Far beyond the bay,
To where whales sing their love songs
And the dolphins dance and play.

There's nothing quite like watching a dolphin dance and play - particularly off the bow of your boat - or listening to the love song of a whale.
A poem that, for the reader, like for those enviously watching the boats head out, sparks a yearning for a spray of mist in your face from the ocean's breeze as you are overwhelmed by a dolphin leaping from the wake of your boat wearing a smile as big as the distant horizon. (As will you be with the sight.)
Lovely
