I was here

I came
to breathe in the ocean
to marvel her power
to be touched and blessed
with her majesty
and
there in the sand
lay one of her citizens
a sea lion pup
soul departed laying for all
to see and know we have
pillaged her water poisoned her home
and
everyone looks away
they just look away
but
one man
long hair overalled walking
tall beside his lady
began to dig
and I watch in fascination
as they scoop together sand
hallow out a resting place
lay a soul to rest in dignity
a citizen of the sea
a sweet sea lion pup
I came to breathe the air
the ocean breeze
and I was touched beyond measure
at the caring and understanding
of the value
seen and known
there are discerning souls
there are
