River Fish

The mountains stretch upon horizon From the east sun has just risen Nightingale sings song that moves the soul I wonder what allowed scientist to discover black hole It was the knowledge of the past But someone had to discover what was new in that past And theories’ creation Involves lot of imagination See children play by the river in afternoon Later rushes look surreal in light of the moon I was one of children like that once And in my head ideas would dance I wanted to see the biggest fish But the river was not exactly full of fish Instead of granting my wish River allowed me to see stone shaped like a fish But this allowed me Imagine it is the biggest living fish I see Imagination can set one free Even allow one to control ones’ destiny When I grew up I realized how ridicules it was But when one thinks like that it’s a big loss Because imagination is part of the soul And allows one to grow beyond limitations or control If one does not reach a higher point disappointed he’ll be If one does reach final point it will not set one free But with imagination one can overcome paradox of destiny And this is a first step for the man child spirit to be free
