Interesting poem, Gracie. I'm not sure how to reply, cuz I don't know the answer. But I'm glad to see you writing, and I enjoyed the photos, and the poem. Thank you, for taking the time.
Yeah, I don't know the answer either....the fish were in a dream. I was trying to escape a funky old house with strangers in it and I went out to the deck. The deck faced directly on to a lagoon and the fish (many ,many of them) swam up to me and called my name over and over again - in a very demanding way. Go figure.
Oh, I was going to say that I liked the poem, but I enjoy it so much more now that I have the back story to go with it. Explains the emotions. Lovely:)

OK blog sister - you have been tagged at http://mylifeincontradictions.blogspot.com/2012/05/im-it-blog-tag-anyone.html. Someone else tagged me and suggested it might get me out of my blogging funk - see if it helps!
I have read this several times, but can't think of remotely intelligent to say about it. It gives me chills, I can tell you that--and I'm not even sure why. Thanks for sharing it.
MM - get real! Everything you say is intelligent! You can't not be intelligent.
It gives me the chills too and I can't even say why. It is spoken from a place that I can't fully access but which embraces me in a way that is scary. Putting it on paper lets me get inside of it. Now how intelligent is THAT?
Absolutely GORGEOUS pic of the water!! I want to go there!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you, Judy! This was on a beach on Kauai - the blues are just stunning!

DeleteI love the imagery!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dana - fun to play with word pictures, yes?

ReplyDeleteThe backstory does help, doesn't it? I have the image in my mind - might try putting it in paint this weekend. That would be interesting.
DeleteThe "answer" is obvious: The fish were part of a school, so they naturally were attracted to you...
ReplyDeleteGood insight! And making demands on me - loud and incessant demands!
DeleteGot the book! Thank you.
