Again, you've unwittingly, graced our peaceful Bay Area shore. Your built-in sonar has guided you back to us from afar. It seems you've remembered from five years hence, yet in October you half-willingly swam away from here. We'll remember our earnest struggle to set you free-- the unified effort that stirred way down deep, the desire in many who had never known kindness Your tales of courage to live have inspired goodwell and fellowship in us mortals. And through you, science finally understands the nature of your being--Magificent Humpback Whale! We waved farewell with bittersweet joy for your release and followed your leave beyond our eyes. Our blessings went with you for your safekeeping as you journeyed on, majestically capturing the sea, then disappearing far into the depths of the ocean's arms. With hope, we patiently wait 'til you return safe. © 1997 - Gloria Jean |
