hey fish!

hey fish, i envy you.

Nobody taught you how to swim but you do.
You flip and flop in oceans, rivers, and lakes
with the sun as your lamp in your watery home.

In your place, plants dance to the rhythm of your breath.
Stars wave at you when you pass by.

When you are sad, clams spout white tears.
When you are happy, seahorses jump in joy.

Oh fish, i wish i can cruise waves with you.
I hope to feel the warmth of the seas' sandy bottom,
not just its murky depths.
To lose myself in the anonymity of the blue.
