Humpback Whales At Sea


Clicks, whistles and pulsed calls
coming from whales you can't see 
Within the compounds, no walls 
only ocean water and Captain Lee 

Sonograms and ultrasounds, its a joy  
when whale voices are heard ! 
Binoculars views, soon they deploy 
leviathans swim without a word 

The echo returns not for they do run free  
always returning to their  summer grounds     
Into the womb of the deep blue sea
they go, to a place where they can't be found.

To me, whales are the elephants of the sea, with the exception of killer whales. Gentle and huge! I loved your sharing. When I left Soup you bore only 1 rose, how beautiful to have bloomed another ... Caycay

Dear Rose, I absolutely love the imagery you’ve written into this! The way you capture the whales' mystery and majesty with such gentle reverence is breathtaking. I think your artistic words create a world of quiet wonder, where the deep sea is as much a home as it is a secret. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
