I love whales, they're so majestic and mysterious, much like your poem. Inexplicably hounded throughout history, you've captured their aura. Excellence!

[Pryde Foltz]

They are a bounty of richness ... not matter how you look at it. But I see love and wisdom. Thank you, Paloma:)

yes an epic tale the white whale, moby dick forever hunted. sadly reminds me of the japanese hunting whales. a lovely write on the plight of the whale pryde.

[Pryde Foltz]

Yes ,,, but my whale is not caught ... it is the hunter that is pitiful. Whales are indeed majestic and intelligent creatures:)

i wonder why something we long for seems always over the next horizon, even the next wave...but we can't quite capture it...we chase dreams and they swim just out of reach...

it is something that really exists? or a myth?

regardless, we stubbornly chase ...don't we?

[Pryde Foltz]

A bit of both I find. We chase to create what is new ... but the longing and the suffering ... that come with the grasping:) Thank you, J:)
