Little Fish Part 2
(I Staved my Flame)
Suffocation is the key to staving the flame
Oh little fish,
You have learnt so much over the last few years,
Although there is still so much that you haven't,
Don't you know, you can make your own advice?
You bite at nothing now. Blind them with your kindness, your generosity.
Suffocation was the key to staving the flame- or was it?
Rather seems like Father Time was my saviour,
Sweeping away my worries clean,
Like a old rag to a dusty window seal
I am new again.
Time has healed this Fish of the Sea.
No I don't look to the past, but to the future,
My road that stretches about before me
The light, not at the end, but within the tunnel
I am lightened, my life brightened
Time has healed this Fish of the Sea.
I see the Flame, what's left of it yet,
Once again our worlds collided
Although I didnt fret.
My fear has subsided.
For once your words so taunting
Ones that bullied and mocked,
Have no effect. Ha! isn't that daunting?
That I have grown up and you have not.
So take the rest of your spark, your heat,
I do not fear your so called flame
Can't you see I have it beat?
In my box of I keep, and its finally tame.
Time has healed this Fish of the Sea.
You were jealous of me, you still are I believe,
Thinking in your head endlessly. But you never moved on, and I am far gone, I don't really know how I did you wrong.
Not mine to judge.
Time has healed this Fish of the Sea.
So let me go, for heaven sake!
Just let loose and leave me be.
For you words of "so called" hate,
Just Don't seem to harm this Fish of the Sea.
I staved my Flame.
The Fish of the Sea.

What an awe inspiring write. And one close to me xx
Hi James, thank so much for your support! Your kind words lift up this Fishes day! The Fish of the Sea.
Oh wow Max this I can so relate to. It is once we let go of fear for these people that we gain empowerment over them. I loved the analogy of using fire. This was a clever writeĀ
taming the flame, and tucking it away in a box. How many of us have had to learn to do just that! I just think this is a marvellous piece of imagery for this subject.Ā
I also liked how you recognise your own growth in this. Comparing your growth to their lack of growth. You are mindful throughout this piece. Aware you are dealing with someone less mature than yourself. Another reason to feel empowered. Yet you donāt allow that empowerment to go to your head. You never retaliate. You stand your ground and new belief. Which teaches the reader a third empowerment. We do not have to ever entertain the flame. We never even have to dance round it. Just become a fish and allow the waters to keep that flame from ever touching you.Ā
A truly brilliant and honest writeĀ
well deserving of votes and pinsšĀ
Your friendĀ
Gwen :)
Ahhh wow Gwen, stunned by you comment. To be honest, this one for me was tucked away in memory... and reading back brings all the cringe and nostalgia of it's time. I know its only a year back, but... what can I say.Ā
Gwen, you have managed to make extreamly deep connections and explanation in more finite details than I really understood at the time I wrote this. Hitting every point about growth and mindfulness on its head. To be honest, I am young... still, if I can quote... "waking up from waking up from waking up". Becoming more understanding of my thoughts, feelings and values and where they stem from. Most of all, I think you have taught me a fraction of myself in your comment so thank you.
I'm going to read over this comment a few more times now XD, peace and smiles to you Gwen, I hope to catch up on Comos soon! (Famous last words.)
Kind regards,
Max
