Whale Watching in Stilbaai
July 2005
We flock to the shoreline, the hills, the cliffs
Just for a glimpse of you
Emerging or sinking
Out of or into magnificent Mother Blue
Our eyes magnetised
Scanning the shimmering surface
For your signal spray, a fluke, a fin
As the sunset tide slowly rolls and folds in
Waves persistently extending themselves toward the land
Knowing their dying lies in reaching the sand
Knowing they will reincarnate from the centre
In similar yet not identical form
Reborn
Dancing to the music of Divine Law
