Have you swum with a friendly dolphin
When the day dawns clear and bright,
And seen his welcoming leap of joy,
As you leave the harbour and pass the buoy?
That's pure delight.
Have you swum with a friendly dolphin,
Dozing under the noonday sun,
and stroked his belly so smooth and strong,
Or felt yourself being towed along
In elfin fun?
Have you swum with a friendly dolphin
In the sunset's fiery glow,
When every wavelet is tinged with gold,
And his silhouette, so huge and bold,
Is a graceful bow?
Have you swum with a friendly dolphin
As the silvery moon rides high,
And ocean and earth are bathed in white,
And the dolphin's aglow with a phosphorous light,
As he glides by?
Have you swum with a friendly dolphin
In the North Sea's rolling swell?
Or a choppy squall, as a cloud passed by,
And a leaden greyness darkened the sky,
And raindrops fell?
Have you swum with a friendly dolphin
And a boatload of friends of a kind?
The harmony linking you all, and him,
As you tumble out of the boat for a swim
It blows your mind.
Have you swum with a friendly dolphin
And known your panic allayed?
Be it ladders or snorkels - whatever your fear -
Perhaps the oceans depth; once the dolphin's near
You're not afraid.
Yes, I've swum with a friendly dolphin
In the moonlight, the sun and the rain;
And the varying moods of the ocean swell
And my life will never - I know full well -
Be the same again.

Dolphin, Dolphin, wild and free,
Ballet dancer of the sea,
From an ocean, filled with fish
You can dance when ever you wish,
Why then do you come near land
To take a mueli from my hand?
Do you come for conversation:
Do you like the touch sensation?
Do you come to say, "Release
My brethren in the name of peace?"
(The dolphin replied)
"Watch how I can leap and play,
Swimming many miles a day.
Captive dolphins just exist
Pining for the joys they've missed.
Now we've met, here, at the edge
Of our worlds, let's make a pledge
To strive for peace and liberty
For all the creatures of the Sea.
Poems from Delphina's Dolphin Poetry
