Bay of Bengal

After last weeks amazing trip out into the Bay of Bengal, to the Swatch of No Ground, to see dolphins and whales and experience the vast watery space out there, this weeks poem could only be about that amazing experience.

Occasionally you come across a place you’re happy just to know exists

 

Like this place, far out at sea where in deep, deep green water

Dolphins hunt and play and leap through waves where fish flicker

 

Knowing this quiet glassy calm is here some days

Some days are storms

Knowing that in gigantic calm

Whales expel moist breath into the still afternoon

 

These choppy waters

These rocking waves

This playful breeze

 

Where no light disturbs the stars and moon reflecting in the water of the bay

where nothing interrupts light from the rising sun scattering across waves

 

I sleep more deeply at night

Breathe more peacefully

Love life more achingly

 

Knowing this place exists

  1. Excellent way of telling, and pleasant piece of writing to get facts on the
    topic of my presentation subject, which i am going
    to deliver in academy.
