A Poem a Day (479): Whale song

 
Whale song
 
Down in the deepest depths, his berth,
swallowed whole by the elements
in this bluest of cages sunk down,
beneath the echoes of all things.
 
We listen through the silences,
the blind moan of the world below,
in the sheer vale of distance,
listen for the dawn of his song.
 
It drifts out, down, between oceans,
journeying the currents without him
while he lies suspended and still,
smaller life in sacred awe.
