They bob in the water
bask on rocks
elegant despite their blubber.
I look closer
see the misfit of their eyes
the someone living inside
not quite at home in ocean
the soul of the girl -
mythical selkie.
Given the choice
I too would hide
in a secret skin
escape to the freedom of sea
the forgetfulness of waves.
I like the way you discribe the seals " elegant despite their blubber" and the last two lines "escape to the freedom of sea
ReplyDeletethe forgetfulness of waves." are especialy wonderful
Beautiful pictures painted with words once again - this is just so evocative of the many places I have seen seals, but more than that it captures the impishness of the seals themselves...
