In the Company of Fishes

In depths of silence on the ocean’s bed, they sleep, While ships and boats noisily, above they creep, Under the waters, undisturbed, a school of Rainbows dazzles with colours of orange, blue and gold, And a shoal of Angels in regal flair unfolds. In the depths of the deep blue, where secrets and treasures reside, A striped Clown and a colourful Parrot side by side they glide, A school of tiny silver swimmers suddenly dashed by as if in a race, A fleeting glimpse of those dazzling beauties, in a flash, no ripples, no bubbles, no trace. In this realm of giant kelps and coral mazes dwell an abundance of vibrant, shiny scales darting and twirling, each a dancing gem, To escape and forget reality, I could sit quietly for hours watching them, When I close my eyes, my spirit leaps, for in the company of fishes, there’s tranquillity and peace, In my memory, these unique and beautiful images I will forever keep. To see such a beautiful show is a rare and a once-in-a-lifetime lucky chance. How nice it would be if we could take a whispered vow, To save and protect these precious swimmers in the here and now. by Zyrool 2025
