From the high silence of altitude
The fishes dribbled down together
Laughing with their jolly companions
Cradled by cold, cosy ice, that carried their courage
They waved at the sky as they spun and fell
Slipping towards a promised land of abundance
Grins wide, joy immeasured
They descend and dashed at last into oceans and seas
New friends welcomed them without hesitation, with open currents and honest warmth
Water wrapped them in a living embrace
Cheering them into belonging
Above, their old companions dissolved into blue
Soft goodbyes, melting into
the deep
In this new dwelling, they were honoured
They fed on worms, orchids, drifting plankton
Learning rhythm of sharing breath
Growing stronger together
Still, they remembered the sky:
a gentle doorway of virtue and beginning
Divinely crafted to make them comfortable
A place they once knew
As they multiplied and shimmered across, the waters
Became blessing to the world
Grateful for the fall,
Grateful for the sea
And warm mercy of the ethernal that gave sky permission to let them go
