Wings spread
beautiful shape
glides into vision
Humbled by size and majesty
watch in awe
reach out.... reach out.......
Touch me
see me
do you know me?
do you share my wonder?
If we could speak .....
If we could speak .....
Spirit free she soars
as the whale glides
From ocean floor to sky above
all is hers
The whale is one with the ocean
yet breathes the air above
so she is one with the world I know
yet her spirit breathes
an air that I know is there
yet can never partake
Wonder
While mankind struggled and fought
his bitter hatreds poisoned the air
Yet the whales lived out their long lives
at peace with each other
At one with their world, they did not quarrel.
Through the centuries they lived in harmony
while man struggled and fought.
The whales watched the rise and fall of countless kingdoms .....
yet almost .. almost they faded from the face of our world
