I dreamed of floating in the big blue.

I dreamed of breathing effortlessly in the water.

I dreamed of sleeping in a peace deeper than the universe.

So one day, he came, the strong and gentle Beluga.

He carried me off on his back and

dived into the deep in a swoop.

“No longer will you need to swim on your own, for

I will carry you wherever you go.” The Beluga whispered.

Tears of joy rolled down from my eyes.

Clinging to him, I fell into a deep and restful sleep.

When I awoke,

the sun was warming that unsearchable corner of the ocean.

I floated under the weight of the dream,

a dream lighter than air.

I became as new as a baby.
