WHERE DOLPHINS PLAY
WHERE DOLPHINS PLAY Can you tell? Where dolphins play Or where the trees Lift up their branches To the heavens in praise Of their creator? Or where lovers meet In union that is divine Can you tell? As the mountains rumble Or the seas roar When creation is disturbed For mans’ undoing And have no …
