Owls and Orchids

I sat for a moment

From whale watching in 2011 Hervey Bay

Or so I thought

Beside me a cup of tea

Gazing quietly out to sea

Praying for a moment’s respite

From the itch which had plagued me

All through the night

The white caps rolled by

The breeze no longer a soft sigh

One splash, then two more

A bevy now closer to shore

Followed by quick blows  

To left and right

As a pod of whales swam into sight

They waved and they blew

Flukes splashing a grand tune

Time slipped by as they passed from sight

Before I realised it

They had gone with the light.

My whale blessing – hours with no itch,

I feel calm and serene,

Thanks, to my beautiful whale dream.

It felt like a dream as the hours slipped by. I had no notion how long I sat and watched, mesmerised by the whales passing. They were a never-ending stream passing by…. I couldn’t have asked for more.

Blessings,  Susan x

     That’s so true, I can pour so much into the images I find in nature and realise that if Nature has found a way to create a balanced cycle then so can I….. I simply need to work it out and I’m there. Thank you.
