In the Company of Fishes

In depths of silence on the ocean’s bed,

they sleep,

While ships and boats noisily, above

they creep,

Under the waters, undisturbed,

a school of Rainbows dazzles with

colours of orange, blue and gold,

And a shoal of Angels in regal flair

unfolds.

In the depths of the deep blue,

where secrets and treasures reside,

A striped Clown and a colourful Parrot

side by side they glide,

A school of tiny silver swimmers suddenly

dashed by as if in a race,

A fleeting glimpse of those dazzling beauties,

in a flash, no ripples, no bubbles, no trace.

In this realm of giant kelps and coral mazes

dwell an abundance of vibrant, shiny scales

darting and twirling, each a dancing gem,

To escape and forget reality, I could sit quietly

for hours watching them,

When I close my eyes, my spirit leaps,

for in the company of fishes, there’s

tranquillity and peace,

In my memory, these unique and beautiful images I will forever keep.

To see such a beautiful show is a rare

and a once-in-a-lifetime lucky chance.

How nice it would be if

we could take a whispered vow,

To save and protect these precious

swimmers in the here and now.
