I Fished a Coup

I cast my line to catch a fish
And baited it with pleasures wish.
I sat within the warming sun
And watched the waves and water run.

The clouds passed by and caught my eye
The warm wind brought a pleasant sigh.
The air was crystal clear that day
And dreams began to drift my way.

The line became a cord instead
The water turned to infrared.
I floated in a fluid field
Protected by a filmy shield.

And all around searched hungry fish
To gobble down this baited dish.
And in that moment I knew fear
And felt my birth and end was near.

The gray turned into blinding light
And I was launched into it’s bright
I am not sure the symbols clue
But feel it was a dreamer’s coup.

The line grew taught, jerked me awake
I cut the cord in pure heartache.

I learned what truth was all about...

a keeper...

certainly not the one that got away...

Sy, your unique use of meaningful metaphor keeps me reading your work ~ this is no exception. Delightful reading, this. Thanks for it.

Sprayed across my heart and hers
Danced butterflies in the wild
This angel, this woman ,
who loves me with the innocence of a child.
