in my dreams
they nudge me hello, then teach me to breathe
and i twist and turn and swim beside them
and saturday, i got to spend time with them outside my dreams
and they came as close as ten yards from the side of the boat
i laughed through tears of joy
as my heart felt like it was home

breathtaking, beautiful post.
wow!wow!wow!wow!wow!
I am breathless...that is so amazing! What an exhilarating moment that must have been for you!
oh how wonderful ... once when i was in tofino on vancouver island heading out to meares island, 3 grey whales came close and then one largest came up behind the boat and emerged beside me, so close that i could reach out and touch her soft spongy barnacly skin, it was amazing. i have never seen these beauties that close, it must have been exhilerating. i love these kinds of special encounters that live inside you forever ... :)
