The bay's lonely fish

Swim away, fish
Find your way
You choose to be alone
And yet you are not
You are surrounded by the
Strangeness of the water's edge
Down on the shoreline bay
Out across the expanses
Across the more tepid waters
You might find a kind like your own
But you choose to stay
And you choose to learn
And you choose to be yourself
Little fish, I admire your courage
And how you oft return to the places
You wander so freely
But fish don't forget
How alone you really aren't
No matter where your fins may take you
You will still have a place
In the heart of the bay


(((Much love to ya, Fishie -- you know who you are!)))
