A long time ago on the shore
<\/span>Lived a kitten who wasn’t sure
<\/span>Where he belonged: land or sea?
<\/span>The one thing he knew: he had a dream.

<\/span>Flipping his fins he’d get so far
<\/span>Swimming with fish, being part of the swarm.
<\/span>Rubbing his head deep in the warm sand,
<\/span>Jumping with dolphins, fun would have no end.

<\/span>Scales – and no fur – are all he wants
<\/span>But fate decided: I think not.
<\/span>Swimming, floating as the time flies,
<\/span>That’s how his everydays go by.

<\/span>Tonight too, he’s sitting on a rock
<\/span>Watching as waves are hitting the dock.
<\/span>And as a shooting star falls off the sky
<\/span>He whispers his heart’s greatest desire.

<\/span>A cold breeze, running down his spine
<\/span>He turns his head to see her in the moonlight.
<\/span>Her, a little ghost with a sad smile\u00a0
<\/span>Wishing the stars would come to her tonight.

<\/span>She looks at him, eyes full of curiosity,
<\/span>Yet he jumps, hides, not wanting company.
<\/span>But under the full moon, he then takes a turn
<\/span>A strange feeling, a longing that makes him return.

<\/span>There they sit silently, the moon watching over them
<\/span>Only the crickets are daring to make a sound there.
<\/span>And as tranquil settles on the endless shore
<\/span>Lingers a scent, much like the petrichor.

<\/span>„Kitten, kitten, why are you so sad?
<\/span>What could possibly form clouds over your head?”
<\/span>„I have a dream (although silly, I know):
<\/span>To be like the dolphins, just following the flow.

<\/span>I have given up trying though, as it’ll never come true
<\/span>So I’m just sitting here, feeling ever so blue.”
<\/span>„But why so alone, aren’t you lonely?”
<\/span>„I’ve got no friends, they all laughed at me.

<\/span>Said I’m too childish, they all grew up suddenly
<\/span>It’s better alone anyways, isn’t it?
<\/span>What about you though? Wandering far from home…”
<\/span>„You know, a home is not something a ghost would know.

<\/span>I died long ago, so I’m wandering the city
<\/span>Looking for friends who don’t look at me with pity.
<\/span>And even though I always try to be present,
<\/span>Let’s be honest, who would want a ghost as a friend?

<\/span>They look through me like I wasn’t even there
<\/span>Years together, yet they don’t know who I am.”
<\/span>Silence settled, no more words were said\u00a0
<\/span>Heart-to-heart messages, two pearls in the same shell.

<\/span>And as the moon reached the middle of the night sky
<\/span>A star fell suddenly, bidding the others goodbye.
<\/span>But as it was leaving, it saw the lonely souls
<\/span>Granting wishes, shining, living up to its role.

<\/span>But my oh my, dear, would you look at that
<\/span>It had no job, they did a miracle themselves.
<\/span>They found each other, that was more than enough,
<\/span>Friendship in its glory, together \u2018till the time stops.

<\/span>They both felt accepted, childish yet so happy
<\/span>Together through problems, tears, joyful destiny.
<\/span>Both on adventures, making memories on the way
<\/span>Growing together, better people day by day.

<\/span>So dear reader, there’s one thing you should remember,
<\/span>In this movie called ‘life’, plot twists are always a struggle.
<\/span>Yet, happy ending’s not fate but a choice in your hands.
<\/span>You’re not alone, someone’s waiting for you out there.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
