"A shining star . . .  an original who
refuses to follow the crowd . . . "

in the aquarium

 I have spent life in the confines of glass
an Aquarius and a thinker deep
from swaying aquatic-grass observing
a tinker within this silent border- 
to fix the broken~  oh, a free-thinker
I float and drift, aloof, serene,  detached
dancing and swaying among the hued green
then, need freedom- leaving the ice-cold
breaking the boundaries of my box
and behold the melancholy that is me
