She waves her hand
in the ocean blue
asking her dolphin
friends to comfort
her heart

with a flip of
her fish-tail
she sends magic
and prayers

friends who write
are absent, she
watches a sunset
knowing it will
rise again
the lady fish
calls out in song

waiting, for those
who create
to return to the
world of the pen
poems, essays, stories
scripts, novels
souls who write
these, need her
positive thoughts

seahorse companions
remind her, be happy
they will arise,
patiently she swims
while she waits
and watches the sun rise
