In the unending ocean
I send my song
my voice carrying
all my emotions
and pray that someone
would answer just once
at least this time
but no… my song
doesn’t reach them
No matter how loud I sing
Journeying alone
my heart withers
the dark ocean
is cold… and sad
So I sing still
knowing my voice won’t reach
I sing still because
in the end here I am
Even if no one else is
I sing for myself
Maybe it isn’t the intent of the poem but this calls to mind selkies and sirens and oceanic fairy of lore.
The selkies and sirens might still have a couple of friends… but 52 Hertz is dubbed the loneliest creature on the planet because its frequency does not match other whales and so no one can understand him… or answer back his calls 🙁
just imagining being alone in the unending ocean.. but it still sings year in year out.. and I kind of find that inspiring ^^;
I totally forgot about that being the name of a whale!
