Gentle Giants

Gently riding crests of waves across the ocean bay
Cumulus clouds sail high above on a beautiful sunny day
The anchor is dropped and we've lowered the sails
Our camera's are handy as we look for whales
The humpbacks are here for the plankton and krill
We patiently watch and sit perfectly still
These gentle giants are a treasure to see
So we must protect them and our deep blue sea
For time's of the essence and we cannot wait
We all must do more before it's too late

Thank you again I Am Anaya. They are such sweet souls of the sea. All life on Earth is precious and I often feel a deep sadness from mother Earth and for the wild life that have almost been driven to extinction. BTW I love your name Anaya. Cheers my friend :-)

Thank you Joseph. Absolutely, and we need to start by eliminating plastic drinking bottles and going back to glass containers. I appreciate your visit and kind feedback. Cheers Anne :-)

The cumulous clouds caught my attention right away, Anne. I just love seeing them over large bodies of water... Watch out for sharks now. They're everywhere these days. ~ Loan Shark
