Baja St Ignacio Lagoon Mexico

A gentle place

in Baja St Ignacio Lagoon

where the ocean meets the sky

and the world there is in tune

all the marvellous vistas

and subtle pinks and blue

come together and fill the world

with wonder now anew

and here grey whales and dolphins

mingle for a while

they make the trek from Alaska

to give birth here

in style

friendly, they are gentle giants

curious and strong

whale watching is a pastime

its like a gentle song

that moves us those who come to share

the wonders of the whale

breaching teaching and beseeching

mankind who does sail

gently into their lagoon

to see them for a while

16 little boats allowed

trying to reconcile

man and whale and ocean

and devotion for the sky

this very caring environment

its so subtle which is why

it works and is sustainable

for the fishermen believe

they treasure and they measure

and of course it does achieve

a really good equilibrium

with the few observers who

come to witness miracles

that live here in the blue

petting whales can move most souls

a great eye from the deep

staring through you to infinity

and finally does leap

forward

into time perhaps

and back to times that have passed

just being close to nature in a world

that’s changing fast
