The Way It Happened
I see a red koi
In a light blue stream
With sparkles of silver and white in he silent splashes when leaves draw him to the surface on this still day
Tall trees and a pathway
Stones line the edges of this stream
Grey and brown with dandelions sprouting in between them
The wind crawls over the water and ripples whisper to each other
Coming to a slow hover the koi closes its greenish eyes
The wind halts as a shimmering droplet rolls from it's left eye
Sending a pulse through the water the tear grows
Forming fins and a tail
Two brown eyes
And orange scales
Swimming in a circle the red fish is in awe
That from its pain
A companion was born
A lover
A listener
A comforter
A friend
Swimming in the stream
right there beside him
