Reflections in A Wave - - Poetry by Paul Lloyd Warner

We do not know if Whales are capable of deep reflective and philosophical thinking. Their intelligence is without question. Their frontal lobes are more advanced than humans - that place where higher thinking takes place. It is not impossible to imagine that a Whale could ponder the depths of living. Perhaps thoughts about beauty are no different from a scuba diver's.

Reflecting in a wave . . .

These phosphorescent silver waters,

I gaze around to Beauty

Of the Ocean's making.

The tone is clear.

I hear three-dimensional

Forms felt

Very far away.

Echoes in the volumes

Fade away concentrically.

It's wonderful to sound

And listen extra-visually.

Silence darts

Transparently between

Swift currents flowing

To the Great Beyond.

I mediate upon

These thoughts.

And Lo, once down again,

I have to rise for air.
