The Soul Fish
Listen to poem:
As wandering down onto the sunny, seashore one day
My grandfather and I, on the water’s edge, we stayed
The gentle ebb of the waters flowed in and out it goes
Lapping with delightful sensation in between, my toes
Just at the water’s edge, very faintly you could just see
A very flat sole fish just wavering and looking up at me
Grandfather said, of this fish we should always respect
For inside this sole fish, a dead departed soul was kept
I looked at the fish and the sole fish looked back at me
Within its eyes, the soul of the departed, looking at me
Now my Grandfather has now departed and I’m bereft
For a heartfelt message which just for me he never left
Now with each day, it is down to the water’s edge I go
As waiting, for my beloved Grandfather’s, soul to show
