I Am the Blue Marlin
I AM THE BLUE MARLIN*
I was made
To venture undulating time
And chase the tides forever facing forward
Through glinting waves by unknown shores —
I migrate
The oceans’ warm currents for
Thousands of miles yearly, continuing
Always onward, always embraced by water
I am
The mighty blue marlin mirroring a sight
Of the blue heavens above, divinely
I was created to breathe and to glide
As this ocean life’s own,
Yet by His magnificent, pure Holy design,
I am
Powerful, challenging, defying death often
I leap
Above the rolling waves into radiant light
As water gleaming streams off my sides
Over the scars of hooks still there by fishers’ tries
I am a blue marlin
Born and destined to survive for decades
In sparkling waves observed by my sparkling eyes,
Loving the eternal swim through His created
Waters that brought our planet to life.

* I see the blue marlin as a vibrant metaphor for my life (& others) who refuse to give in to Death before our Father God’s chosen time for us & our work for Hm here is done.
