Little Fish Part 3
(Flame without Oxygen)
Little Fish
How far you`ve come
From distant shores
And battles won.
Oh Little Fish
So much you have learned
From far off paradise
And broken shipwrecks
Long ago, you once said to me
Starvation is the key to staving the flame
But no one can live without oxygen.
You found yourself suffocating.
Unable to breath the water around you.
Little Fish, waves guided your decisions
Of happiness or sadness
Lows and highs
But now the compass is set.
North
South
East
West.
Thank you, I was thrown a lifeline
By some key people
By some heroes to my ocean
By love, by passion
A pure devotion
Little Fish,
You have so much to live for
To dream for
To hope for
To look forward for
âJust keep swimmingâ
Through currents and waters true.
Calm or rough.
And in Oceans blue.
How far you have come
The Fish of the Sea.
Bless you all for supporting me on this journey.

Ahh yes! Thanks for picking that up Gwen, a stylistic feature I wanted to reintroduce in part 3~ Your kind words mean so much, I feel as if I'm starting a new chapter in my poetry and perspective on life. Starting to breath the water around me, accepting it. I'm really touched that you commented on this on Gwen. Smiles to you. Also dont be sorry!

Hmm, was supposed to lead you to a pic of a swiming leatherbag turtle (a totem of me).
Keep swimming indeed (a fellow student - Dutch born, but lived most of her youth in australia) would have said Indidi, Indidi
I love the turtle!! What a fantastic photo indeed. Such majestic creatures they are. Thanks so much for the photo. Your support means so much John, please keep writing and being awesome! Your friend Max~

XD glad you enjoyed Sparrow! This one was a biggie go get out in the open for me. Your support means so much
Max, nicely done and brimming with stunning positivity and sense of hope skilfully woven through-out.
A real beacon and rock of a poem to take solace from and that's always a good thing.
You really nailed it with this one, a superb uplifting write.
A great soulful metaphor and social message to abide with.
Full honours and poetry kudos gratefully and deservedly given.
And stay poetry frosty my friend.
