Whale Shark’s thoughts
Desolate, open space
A deep cerulean
A state of nothingness
But also closely felt like I’ve transformed
My eyes, only seen by few
My back being the only interesting view
As it mirrors the night sky
Of a starry night
A dotted map
I’ve swam this lap before
Another ship has stopped
My company awaits
With flippers
And cameras
I continue on
Through this desolate place
Feeling everything among the open space
My dotted back
A close map to the night sky
I say goodbye to my guests
And continue on ahead
After a pat on the head
A deep cerulean
A state of nothingness
But also closely felt like I’ve transformed
My eyes, only seen by few
My back being the only interesting view
As it mirrors the night sky
Of a starry night
A dotted map
I’ve swam this lap before
Another ship has stopped
My company awaits
With flippers
And cameras
I continue on
Through this desolate place
Feeling everything among the open space
My dotted back
A close map to the night sky
I say goodbye to my guests
And continue on ahead
After a pat on the head

Author's Note
I love the whale shark the best out of all the sharks. I find them fascinating and thought I’d write this. It’s not my best but still proud of it

You have right to be proud, picturing the thoughts of a whale shark trailed by undersea divers. Whale sharks stand out in my child memory of animal books for their yawny mouth gape to catch plankton.
