O, Orca
Tahlequah —
so much more
than just J35 —
for 17 days
more than
1,000 miles
of heartache
you gave us —
waiting, watching
as you grieved —
carrying the weight
of the world’s eyes —
teaching each
and everyone —
grieving mothers
have their own —
ways and time
to say
goodbye.

I'm trying so hard to just keep swimming,
but more often than not, the Orcas visit me.
I'm more so floating, similar to the Velella
I keep going until I can't take anymore,
then end up washed up with the shore.

Satiated is my soul, awake, alive
I come forward with my eyes alight
This moment here was perfectly timed
With the sunshine reflecting full tonight
I follow the moon, the stars, the sea
Wave upon wave breathes life into me
The balance of far lands and dreams
I was once the wolf who took the leap
A guardian of cosmic mystery
Into waters bright and clear
Such transformation happens here
Now I know the truth, in tears
Gaia loves all starseeds dear
A seed was planted, this I know
For the moon once told me so
In its attempt to fight the sun
But now they are forever one
Let the flow continue now
I heed the call, I hear the sound
Awaken before our light goes out
There is no room for doubt
Drop your worries, release your sighs
From your heart, this special night
I'll race you to the end of time
And howl now, our wilds' cry
Watch our soul spread out, spread wide
Now my sweet one, be alive
One last breath and now we dive
Into the deep, we glide, we rise
Becoming part of an eternal tide
And so she whispered to the sky
A wish so deep, so sweet, so kind
"I will still be yours...
If you will be mine"

There’s a certain romance
in he who doesn’t kiss
his lover, despite yearning
for her eager lips,
and tongue like a dolphin—
hesitant, yet inviting.
But she’s bottlenosed,
and he has the heart of an orca.
He just wants her
to test the water
before he drags her
down by her feet.
