Perfect Wish

sometimes
I wish
that I could swim
like a fish

dive deep below

where no one would know

and oh the places I would go

deep
where lights eerily gleamed

or high
where the sunlight streams
and all you see
is the occasional

behemoth

mouth wide
catching its prize
slowly
dancing in the rays

or become small
and spend time
where the kelp is tall
and the fish swim in and out

or where the waves
make a shout
and everything clings
grabbing at the nutrients
each wave brings

oh to be a fish
what a marvelous
and perfect wish.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind."

Matthew 13:47
