The Koi


 Under the pond
   something lies
       hidden gently
           like a delicate wish

seen by all,
     heard by some
         who believe.

 The Koi move slenderly           
     across the deep rocks
        closer towards the edge,
           further from the destination.

They do not mind
     as they twist golden bodies
           along the crystal path,
              wisdom lies in scales of truth.

 Oh, what will I do
      when it is time for me too, to swim
          among the ancient colours?

Of course!  To love the water is not enough
    it is found in the world you believe,
        then you will realize
            you were always swimming.
