-In Awe

Today, l went whale watching
I was left in complete awe
The magnificence of these beautiful creatures
Hugged my being to the core

Their amazingly huge yet graceful bodies
Playfully breaching into the air
Slapping their pecs in the water
To their own grandeur… oblivious and unaware

It was a truly special sight to behold
Nature in its rawest and purest form
To see such majestic creatures
Engulfed my being with a joyful warmth

I’d love to see that; Annie would love to see dolphins…. I guess we’ll both be unfulfilled. Glad for you, to have had that experience…. Just you wait til the men from ZOG come to me… I’ll sure write about that! ;-)

Wonderful! I went whale watching in Alaska. They thought the humpback went down for a while, when all at once the ocean opened and the magnificent creature breached. I was in awe! I’v never screamed out in glee like that..oh my. Nature goes about its ordinary business while we watch in wonder!
