"Then one day I was late
and I rushed out to the reef
she was not waiting for me
and I cried out my grief...
I thought I had lost her
and the fault was all mine
I dived over the edge
to forever end my lonely time...
But as I touched the crystal surface
I became what I longed to be
my body shimmered and changed
and I became a dolphin of the sea
And out in the distance I saw her
Waiting beyond the reef
and I finally joined the one I loved
and left behind my life of grief."
...By Stacy Quackenbush (1994)
