Song of the Seals
You hear their playful squeals,
splashing with amphibian glee
The adolescent barks and cub yipes
permeate the Antarctica spring
And the adults all give husky, baritone growls
Mindful parents whose sea passions
are now also aroused
High sun, ice melting ... underwater coves
meant for webbed feet torpedo chasing
Games of hide-and-seek
among the semi-frozen reefs
Fish catching mastery
amidst the giant icebergs
Songs of the seals,
for miles and miles around can be heard
Attracting even their fierce polar bear enemy
Song of the seals,
sung with nature’s triumphant decree
Singing songs of survival to the vast, symphonic sea
