I am a fish who has learned to fly I am forever changed Let go your teeth I cannot take you on my back Your gills would only dry and crack and it looks so far down from up there The summer sun you idolize would only burn if you get too close and the clouds are not sufficient rain for fins you must have wings for sky things let go let go and swim some things were meant to be so I am weary of bringing hail and leaves for you to see and the soot shores that turn my feathers black are spent and will fall away beneath me I will not be held any longer by time and tide I am not of sea, but made of flight so turn eye and tail return to the deep I am the pearl you cannot keep From the book "Being" by Amber Jade
