I watch the moonlight
Light up the blue water.
Casting a blue light
Over the water.

I hold the liquid
In my cold hand.
But it slips away
As quickly as possible.

"Hello, my lovely friends. Are you there?"

I whisper as softly
As a whoosh.
Awaiting an answer
That didn't come.

I briskly stand up.
Turning back.
To go to the sea house.

And I hear a sound
As I turn around.

I beam.
They leap.
Fins splash.

"Are you there?"

They leap and splash.
Again and again.
Never stopping.

Until I say, "It was nice seeing you friends. I hope to see you soon. I have to go now."

They quiet down and disappear.
I smile and skip to the sea house.

Happy because I saw my friends.
Happy because I talked to my friends.

They are alive and happy too.

...

I'm smiling :) And I hope you are too!
