I am a cosmic fish.
I wonder at the enormity of my capacity to love.
I hear the echo of the moon in the night sky,
I see its reflected opalescent wake.
I want to swim naked in the rippling saltwater stardust.
I pretend I swim through the shimmering leagues of your soul,
I feel your warmth enfold me;
I touch home, and it feels like you.
I worry that time is our enemy;
I cry at the cold beauty of the eternal moon.
I understand your flame, for I am its twin.
I say I love you without words.
I dream we navigate the celestial seas together.
I try so carefully not to make waves, even as
I yearn to ride the crests of moonlit breakers.
I am a cosmic fish.
