Ocean interlude

On the ferry, waves beneath my gaze

Distant splashes, a wavy haze

A pod of whales, a dance so free

Playing in the waves, wild and glee

 

They jump and pop, their heads so bright

Fully present, in pure delight

No agenda, just a friendly hello

A smile crept on my face, don\'t you know

 

Their gentle nature, a moment\'s treat

A memory to hold, a heart to beat

Just a hello, a whimsical sight

Whales in the distance, pure joy in sight

 

Time stood still as they drew near

A fleeting magic, only the ocean can bring here

The ferry glides, but I stay behind

In tranquil awe, with the whales, I swim
