The Call of Nature

Upon the oceans rising swell
Albatross, penguins, seals as well
On the surface, or down below
For eight months the life they’ll know

Natures call to procreation!
And miles from their destination.
Until that call, life was so slow
For eight months the life they’ll know

For most when destinations reached
Most babies born where mothers beached
Done, back to sea where they’ll grow
For eight months the life they’ll know
