Blue Mystery I listened to a tape today Of sounds the humpbacks make, at play. Who would have dreamed that giant brain Could spawn such delicate refrain? I close my eyes and I can see Them, floating in blue mystery. Just hovering above the deep And with their song, acquaintance keep With other whales they may have met And nurturing their friendship yet. Suspended over old ship's bones, That help reverberate the tones, They listen as they sing and soon Detect a faint, returning tune And even as I sit and write, Somewhere under the sea, tonight, The whales are singing haunting lays, Commemorating ancient ways. Betty Lou Hebert |

This is a wonderful tribute you've written here. Whale speak can be quite haunting. I have even heard it used in (somewhat arcane) popular music to good effect. |

easy 1: Thank you! I agree with what you say. There is something so compelling about the sounds the whales make. I listen to cd's of them often and feel as though there is something momentous they are saying! If we only knew! Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

There is a sense here, something I can't quite place, of childlike wonder. I wish people shared it more often, as you did here. Best regards, Novus_Os Life is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured. |
