today i visited my dear friends at highland glenn

as i knocked on the front door,

they splashed over and welcomed me in.

i was delighted to see the blue world they called home.

some of my friends

flipped, flew, and flaunted their many tricks;

some of my friends

were content to just relax, drift,

and fall asleep in the arms of our mother nature.

she is here too,

i can hear her when it is very silent.

and when she speaks, it’s like the whole world listens.

soon, it grew time for me to leave my friends behind.

i grew sad and wished it wasn’t true,

but as i turned to go,

a friends stopped me and handed a key.

“it’s your home too”
