Freedom
A chana orientalis kept in my chamber's light
trapped in a pot
throughout the night
intermittently leaped and splashed
seeking escape from its limited chance
in the pot half filled with water
covered with a bowel's soft round.
In the morning next day
the fish freed from the watery bed
released in the wide courtyard tank
where it swimed with newfound pride
Wih greater freedom it darted and swirled
a metaphor of liberation's art
where boundaries break
and spirits restart.
It's movement spoke a passionate plea
a celebration of being freed
no longer confined by the narrow walls
now swimming with unbridled delight.
