LULLABY

Have you ever heard the song of a whale? Sometimes the sounds can be haunting, hypnotic, or even eerie; I believe only because they are foreign to us. Most times though, I get chills all up and down my spine and I experience the most serene calmness; it almost brings me to tears. I wonder what they know, that we as humans don't?
***
Another life form.
Innocent, pure, exalted.

Strange unfamiliar sounds, never before comprehended.

Smooth audible vibrations lull me to another place where the world is different.

I step out of my realm and enter theirs.
Steady tranquility...

I feel light.

Floating...gazing upward.

Glimmering sunshine breaks through the crystal blue like splashes of yellow fire.

Sunlight penetrates my eyes, comforting my existence beyond anything I've known.
I dive deeper and deeper toward the dimness and the sound that draws me in.
Towards a language only my subconscious understands.

Soft echoes pass through my body, reaching to the end of time and space as I know it.

Like an ethereal lullaby.
Then I see them.
Immense figures in perfect calmness...
