Yellow-Fins

One by one yellow-fins are gathering. Their salty hearts gently filling with the indigo currents of struggle -of living. Tide treading the present... back-stroking(grimacing) the past. Front-crawling into future's moaning crag. Dorsal fin topped dreams and crimson cream never seem to last... or do they? The wicked wield wicked nets... squeezing tighter. Calloused gaffs move in-greedily. The joy of yellow fins is flayed... One by one, as foul minded sea lice gobble down a million future suns...

Anthony, as a lover of the ocean, I enjoyed your expression of life in the sea and mourned its demise. True admirers of the sea are rare in written form, thank you for this moment of joy!

Wow, glad I come across this gem. It powerfully blends nature's beauty with the harsh realities of survival, using vivid imagery to convey both fragility and predation. I love the rhythmic flow of the ocean which reflects on the cyclical nature of life, exploitation, and the endurance of dreams. Wonderful write! ^__^ JCB
