The Sky-Serpent's Dream

Beware the Fish

Beware the Fish

(November 8, 2015)

There are shadows on eternity,

Like ripples through space;

Beware the Fish.

An echo of identity

Disturbs the murky reality

As hidden, secret somethings

Slip silently by to the sound of sudden slithering.

Hush.

Listen as the silence roars against the mountain,

Mining for meaning in this last cave,

A solitary trickle of dust

Disturbing once-still waters;

Beware the Fish.

Dawn comes over the night,

Dispersing and destroying reality

With blinding, burning sunbeams

And the raging inferno's fury,

Put off for years too long.

The wisdom lies cradled in the seagull 's call,

While green water below

Hides labyrinths of coral caves.

Something ageless lurks beneath

The sand and subtle meaning,

Enshrined in lost memory and forgotten dreams.

Beware the Fish.
