Song Of The Lonely Whale

By Vandana Sharma

In the vast blue,

he swims alone,

his songs no one can hear,

the pain is too much to bear.

Unique in this whole wide world

far off from emotions, he’s hurled.

Deep in the oceanic glen and glades,

echoes,

song of the lonely whale.

The world’s loneliest whale (52 hertz whale): The only whale of unidentified species, calling at the unusual frequency of 52 hertz.
