In joy

In joy they came
The creatures of the water 
Swimming and jumping and plunging and splashing
Around and again
Were they human? 
Dolphins? Whales?
Perhaps algae...
Could it be tardigrades? Bacteria maybe. 
Stingray, elephant, owl, spider, ant, eagle, bear, oak, sunflower, heron, mushroom, granite, hibiscus, magpie, cloud, bee...
In joy they came
The creatures of the water 
Swimming and jumping and plunging and splashing
Around and again
Were they human? 💦
