Dragons Fly Orcas Swim
By Kienenberger (c) 1998, 2005

On the wing tip of a cloud
one a windy summer eve
soured down from the heavens 
a dragon with a need.

Its heart was bear and broken
as lonely the breeze
wondering round in barren lands
no others to be seen.

Wind water earth
dragons fly and orcas swim 
together yet apart but one in heart.


Across the rippling oceans
it flew its last flight
Wanting to die 
no others to share its plight.

From the corner of its eye
patterned in white and black
a glistening creature stirred
trapped on land with no way back.

Earth water wind
dragons fly and orcas swim 
together yet apart but one in heart.


Stranded in the sands 
the orca made its cry 
the dragon herd its sorrow
and knew it was to die.

Calling upon the seas
the dragon bared its heart
in rushed the  ties
setting land and orca apart.

Water earth wind
dragons fly and orcas swim 
together yet apart but one in heart.


Off to the setting sun
the dragon resumed its flight
underneath the waves
followed the orca on its right.

Where there once was one
in a world so empty and wide
now there were two
traveling side by side.

Water and wind above the earth
dragons fly and orcas swim 
together yet apart but one in heart.



This was the poem I wrote a year earlier that inspired a rewrite and creations of  Dragons Fly Orcas Swim.

Thunderbird
By Kienenberger (c) 1997

The orca and the waves,
the thunderbird and the winds.
The orca and the thunderbird together once again.

One above the ocean the other deep in side,
traveling together through the skies and tides.

Earth, water, wind,
Dragons fly and orca's swim.
Together yet apart,
but complete and one of heart..
