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
