Cave Fish
by ~pixelfishCave Fish
---------------------------------------------------
Once I swam, weightless,
In a red-gold sea both vast and small
A sightless cave fish tethered
Light and dark, both were warmth to me.
Once I swam, kicked, spasmed,
A sound like waves, two heartbeats colliding,
And then an inexorable tide pulled me under,
Drew me out, and I began to scream.
Pain.
My tether cut, my memories poured out
I forgot in the fear of being cold and alone
For the first time.
I forgot and breathed and slept and dreamed,
A translucent veined cavernous sky,
Of liquid breath and lost gravity,
Lost every morning as I woke.
Until one day as I opened my eyes
Morning sun washed the walls of my room,
And I lay there curled around a secret cavern
A Capricorn's dream carried in water.
Pain.
A tiny earthquake, and blood poured out,
A long slow agonizing geyser, warm and dark,
A first and last time.
I woke and touched my skin, and cried,
The cave fish is gone.
The sunless sea is empty.

"May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine, warm, upon your face,
And may the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again, my friend,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand."

Personally, I loved the feel of it, but if I hadn't felt a true connection with it I would have passed it by without a second glance. It does seem to have an aluring power the way it is, so why not do a second of the same piece, but slightly revised, and call it a completed piece. Then, you can have the best of both.
Enjoyed it! ^.^
