Sometimes I have dreams
of riding alongside a blue whale
and breathing under water
holding it for support
I am close enough
that I can see him
close enough that I can see his eye
his little eye that is just as big as me
I fell in the water one day
after being lost away at sea
for the past couple years
and there the blue whale was
accompanying me
like a friend I should have known forever
but had only just met
The blue whale moaned
I took that to mean
Lets explore the sea and not worry about tomorrow
Sounds good to me I said in my low weak voice
And after he breathed and the force of water made me stumble
I held my breath and descended into the journey
It
Alongside
Me
