Symphony of the Sea

from the pacific rim of panama 
to the emerald realm of patagonia 

lies the eerie sounds the complex sequence of haunting cries and pain 
and eavesdropping on the hidden world of the leviathan can be a deadly game 

amid the ocean waters the whistling whales can be heard for miles 
and the chorus of the whales can be a call back to the wild 

as the esoteric echoes slices through the watery plain 
the silhouette of the ancient creature astounds the keenest brain 

the singers of the deep the harmonizers of h2o 
grace us with the fabric of the songs that they bestow 

as they rocket into the air they crash land like the boom of distant thunder 
but even the breach of the mighty whale fills the mind with wonders

How wonderful; the haunting cry of the whale and all the other mysteries of the sea. This gives such a great picture of these amazing creatures. Loved the action in it.
