Eyes half-closed in light,

the seal dreams where sea meets sky—

time forgets to move.

“Sea lions can remain underwater for an average of 8 to 20 minutes. Unlike dolphins, sea lions exhale before diving.
Naturally, their nostrils are closed, but they have special muscles to open them in order to breathe.
Sea lions can dive to depths between 450 and 900 feet (135 – 272 m).”
