I never knew
I hoarded a stream which bubbled
Until I saw the fish
Which made it vivid
And now I yearn for it to swim
II
Come and swim
You little wriggly fish
Make my stream dance into a dream
I may pleasurably happily scream
Or painfully turn to laugh and beam
But all it’ll do is fill my cup
So come, undress and swim
III
You may be caught by sharp sharks
Or may be bitten by a sea snake
But a wily fish must fear no stream
It must move in knowing the comfort zones
So come, undress and swim
IV
Come and swim
And with me dream
If we scream and beam
Our rays will merge
Attracting invisible fishes to come and be
And live to laugh, wriggle and dance
To life’s beautiful wily rhythms
So come, undress and swim
