The Whale is tired,
Heavy,
Carried by this current,
Coming up for air,
Catching glimpses of the sky,
Clear, blue, beautiful.

my blog of Hep C - starting 5 months into treatment, 6 months post, and on to SVR.

About Me
Healthy, strong, optimistic, and still surprised to learn I had Hepatitis C for who knows how long (viral load 11,700,000; genotype 1b). But finally after some seriously big decisions, 48 weeks of killing treatment, and 6 months of waiting, I'm now SVR (as of 9/21/07) and that means I did it.

Let the whale float on its back today and take it easy!

Hi Ample, I Love to read your poems. I see you liked my Poem I wrote this morning. You gave me the idea from seeing yours. I enjoy writing poems but I don't write often enough. I have some from a few years back which mean a lot to me. I might post them one day. Thanks:)
I find your Whale poems interesting. I have always seen a Whale as the worst kind of prisoner on this giant planet of their's. It's tiny little eye seemingly trapped in a vast wall of granite, in pain, terrified & looking for help. Their eyes say so much to me. Lost in the oceans of the Earth...so lonely!

My view of whales has changed a lot now that I've become one. I see them as looking on from great knowledge, grace, reverence. "No sense of speed, only grace", that fits me to a T these days.... well... the no speed part anyway.... I'm still working on grace (it's a new concept for me).
I'd love to read some of your early works! Keep writing!
