"It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable."


- Socrates


With a shimmering body,

Orange, black, and white

Cover this little fish,

make him bright


His tranquil swimming

Under the lazy turquoise waves

Fills one with awe

At the critter’s power to amaze


And as he returns to his anemone

Nestled neatly in the aquatic cave

He reaches his final moment

And upon the placid sandy seafloor makes his grave


The author's comments:

“Clownfish” depicts the sad reality that, even though many moments are filled with beauty, they are usually short-lived.
