She calls the ocean;
    Rushing
The waves come to her.

Laughing,
    She leaps high in the air
Which shimmers with liquid diamonds.

She dives into the depths;
    Her scales sparkling;
    Glistening;
As Tidecaller twirls and dances.

Bubbles burst from her lips in surprise,
    As a curious baby seahorse twirls in front of her.
She smiles, and puts out a finger.

The tiny seahorse nickers,
    And rubs her head
On Tidecaller's finger.

She darts to the mermaid's cheek,
    And nuzzles her;
It tickles Tidecaller.

Tidecaller giggles,
    And tickles the little seahorse under the chin.
The baby whinnies, and does a somersault.

Tidecaller laughs,
    And twirls with glee
In the shimmering water.

The baby spins too, and somewhere,
    Far off,
They hear a distant neigh.

"Your mother?"
    Her voices is strange in the water;
Ethereal, surreal.

The tiny seahorse nods,
    And points
With her nose.

A group of seahorses;
    Beautiful,
    Graceful,
    Radiant with energy,
Call to their little one.

Tidecaller smiles, and waves to them.
    She turns to the little one, and whispers,
"Go on, and thank you."

The tiny seahorse nuzzles her,
    One last time;
    Whinnies,
    And swims away,
Twirling and dancing.

Tidecaller hears nickers of welcome,
    And a tiny whinny of thanks.
She smiles sadly.

She watches the family swim away,
    And a tear slips from her eye.
She sighs.

"One day I will see mine again."
