SOMETIMES I WISH I WAS A FISH

Sometimes I Wish I Was A Fish

A moment between sister and brother,

captured for evidence

When did it begin

This circling of thought

Swimming around and around wondering

Is this the difference I am making right here?

Was that ?

How much of what I failed to say

Or stopped myself from not

Will matter to you

Or won't anyway

I swim in murky waters

and scream in silent rage

I wish to be a fish sometimes

That you catch

And gaze at my gasps for life murky as it was

And throw me back

Too small

For a chance to circle by you again

Is this the pass that

Counts

Or the next

They giggle and tease

Bursting at the seams with the wonder of it all

If I were a fish

I wouldn't drown in my own self

But would swim eagerly

Knowing I'd round the corner and you might be there

And believe in these moments

Little

Seemingly meaningless

Meaning everything
