Depths of The Deep Blue

I had an amazing experience in Antarctica over summer as producer for 'Whale Wars' on the Sea Shepherd 'Operation Relentless' campaign. These are some words I wrote on the trip...

Broken Majestic

Open your eyes, what can you see?

Is it clear to you as it is to me?

The poisonous touch of humankind

That seems to make the world go blind

A bloodstained smear

On what once was perfection

Ignored by governments

For the sake of election

When the other cheek is turned

Much more than darkness is missed

The love returned by the mother

Like lips against a forehead kissed

To take in the bad, the ugly, the raw

To feel what it means, when it cuts to the core

Only then we’ll receive this life as a whole

The beauty that touches deep in our soul

Are your eyes wide open?

Looking beyond the daily grime

Feel through pain and devastation

What lies beyond can be divine
