Water not only sustains us.
It refreshes and enhances;
freezes for our selves
and steams for them too.
Some temperatures perfect
for animation of sorts.
One, the mix of blood
that moves through a heart.
Great whales have a life span
like a human in years.
Their bodies self aware,
is the water in surround.
Moves and ocean echo.
Knowing the paths of water.
Stories become vocal.
Told to each other,
further distance than
earth's diameter in miles.
They communicate habitat and
nurture and those who are lost.
No matter the distance.
How to find them.
No wonder lowly creatures like us.
When in great sadness or joy.
Feel a sensation like whale well up
in our eyes. Bursting forth for air.
Oceans of inner life to pour.
How deep and matterful swirls are.
How heard they need be.
