    of an ocean of air and a skyful of seawater.

about

On the edges of our surface world,
another world among many undulates into being:
the oceanic realm of whales.

Looking out onto it, dreaming of it,
we may find ourselves drawn in again and again
with the gentle rhythm of the tide beckoning us
with the soft foam of its whispers.

What might the ocean say to us,
in all the surge and lull of its fullness?

Birdsong above, whalesong below —
in the middle, a heavy gentleness: the meeting
of an ocean of air and a skyful of seawater.

White salt and green algae, blue whales
and black birds, blushed skin and few words.

Standing on the shore, let us listen
for the wisdom, the power, the music of whales,
like the Earth, large and round
and surrounded by birds.
