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. |

and before the tide swept me out 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. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
