Whales and Dolphins

One of my dreams as a kids was to see Whales and Dolphins. I never expected seeing them would make me fall in love so deep. Fall so deep into their grace, joy and immense beauty. Everything about them makes me feel something beyond words. Like I was meeting my family or something. These beings are something else.
Last year on a trip to Alaska, I was gifted with their presence. For days upon end, they came to play with and around us. One middle of the night, sitting in my moonlit ship cabin hearing the whales breathing, this song came thought. They sang with me.
I wrote in on the guitar but days later a beautiful synchronicity happened by meeting a new friend who also connects deeply with the whales and dolphins. Sharing time in New York we played this song over and over again. Thank you Cynthia Valenzuela for creating this version with me.
lyrics
The whales came out today
The dolphins came to play
The people stood amazed
At every move you made

You took my breathe away
I gasp, I cheer in awe
It feels like we are family
You stir my entire core

Quiet moon blast the silky ocean
Under world alights tonight
I’ll always remember your majesty
Your presence and you grace

The whales, the whales, the whales
Your sound in the cool night breeze
You breathe so deep and slowly
Floating by with peace with ease

The dolphins jump and play here
They warm my every cell with joy
A tear of salt escapes me
Reminds me of your home

Goodnight dear whales and dolphins
Beneath this darkened blue
Our hearts and dreams beat with you
Eternally we’re true
