Dear Koi,
On one cloudy day I found you in a pond.
The murky waters shimmered from the inklings of light that crept through the clouds.
As I inched closer and closer
To the pond
You approached me.
Ripples drift across the surface of the old pond
Small minnows dart between the gray rocks
Fireflies play along the surface
Beautiful people everywhere,
I'm not one of them!
I'm not one of them!
Beautiful people everywhere,
As far as the eye can see.
And none of them look like me
Little stream through the woods
How sad and lonely you must be
Tired too though many can’t see
You fight and fight to make it through
And one day when you finally do
In the big ocean you will be
