The dragon, the chimp and the turtle

A dragon cools her mouth in the waters.
Her friendly snout held up to breathe,
she gazes, dreaming, out to sea. 

Nearby a sad chimp
rests his chin on the waves. 
He turns, gazing inland;
something concerns him,
something forgotten,
something he must find. 

Alongside him a turtle laps the water, 
unconcerned with tomorrow,
with an hour from now,
drinking in the moment.
