52 Hertz

"I'd like to tell you a story about a whale"

52-Blue: The Loneliest Whale

"Calling out at 52 Hz, a frequency unrecognized by other whales, this mysterious creature is believed to have lived its life in solitude. It calls forever unanswered by its own kind. In our ever-present fascination with these majestic beasts, the tale of “52” has prompted an intense reaction amongst our own species, pointing to a greater awareness of human loneliness than ever before."

Sounds emit,

But I don’t have a voice.

Bound to submit,

And I’m left with no choice

I will walk alone

My words go unheard

Their love is not shown

Compassions unstirred

It is a lonely road

To be misunderstood

Inky depths are my fold

Moving on, that I should

Through the heartless cold

Love cannot be mine

Hope I will always hold

And you know I will be fine

Fifty-two Hertz

Fifty-two Hertz at a time.

-- me

Author's Note

You know I will be fine.

I don't know if I've ever heard a sadder proclamation than, "you know I will be fine"
But I have heard it, so that's something.

I don't know if I've ever related to a whale more in my life...
