I look into the dark abyss
The darkness seems to go on forever
I can hear the slapping of the waves on the bottom of the small boat
A rhythmic sound that fades into the silence of my mind
I look deeper and deeper
Melting into the depths of the sea until I am the sea
Emerging from the depths I can see the shadowy colors of the silent sentinel of the deep
With grace and finesse in its movements
The slow accent to the surface
Breaking the surface in stealthy silence
The huge head rising up
I gaze into the glassy eye
We look into each other’s soul.
I reach out my hand and this gentle giant nuzzles it
The release of its breath
I inhale
This bohemoth rises further into the air as if weightless
Sleek
Powerful
Graceful
Ancient
