Humpback

Oh, great lumbering peaceful giant

Hovering high over oceans floors,

Cooing the resonance of fond contentment,

Ne’er a complaint or tone of resentment,

Knowing no boundaries or doors.

 

Fair neighbor to all of your seafaring mates

Who abide with good comfort in spite of your size.

No enemies threaten except Ahab’s kin

From otherworld trappings again and again,

Seeking to make you their trophy and prize.

 

Lord of the oceans, Titan giganticus,

Hope lives for all as long as you reign.

Give us your peace so we may know our fate.

Teach us to live without sorrow or pain.
