Simplification the meaning of “Mourning Tune”

Usually, the poems I write contain a deeper meaning from the inside than the surface meaning. Some of them have meanings that are completely inconceivable to the superficial reader. Some of the readers have questioned me about it. Since some people questioned my recent poem "Mourning tune" and it also had a lovely story based on it, I decided to explain its inner meaning.

Whales, the largest group of animals in the world. They usually communicate by making sounds. They are always in herds and use sound to locate their herd, communicate with its members, and find mates. Because of their rhythmic nature, these sounds are also known as whale songs. Generally, these whale sounds range from 10 to 39 hertz, and only sounds in that range can be heard by these animals.

An American military submarine once heard a sound at 52 Hz that was out of the ordinary and distinct from a whale's usual frequency range. Later research confirmed that this was the voice of a whale, and because of the unusual frequency of this animal's voice, the other whales could not hear it, so it was an animal that roamed alone.  On top of that, no one has reported seeing this animal, and due to the fact that all that has been heard so far are sounds, it is not known for sure what species of whale it is. It has been reported that this animal, whose sound has been continuously identified in the Pacific Ocean from 1980 to 2010, has been traveling alone for the past 30 years, covering about 70 kilometers per day in search of someone who can hear his sound. Since it is the only one in the world with this kind of sound, the animal has been called the "loneliest whale in the world". This lone whale or 52Hz whale is the basis of my poem. I first heard about this animal from a song. I then considered creating a poem that describes the emotions that the animal is experiencing.

No matter how loud he screams, no one can hear him, no one can see him. So, what kind of thoughts does this lonely animal have? How lonely must this animal feel, wandering around by himself all his life looking for a partner, a friend, or someone to listen to him? Maybe he doesn't know that there are such humans in this world, not just him.
