The Fish in the Trees
A Poem About the Surreal and the Magical
I saw a fish in the trees
Swimming through the branches
With its fins and its scales
Glittering in the sun.
I reached up to touch it
But it slipped away
Into the leaves
And was gone.
I looked around
But there was no one else
Who had seen the fish
In the trees.
I wondered if I had imagined it
But I knew I hadn't
Because I could still see the ripples
Where it had swum.
I never saw the fish again
But I never forgot it
Because it was a reminder
That anything is possible.
I thought about the fish
For days and weeks
And months and years.
I wondered where it came from
And where it went.
I wondered what it meant
To see a fish in the trees.
I came to believe
That the fish was a symbol
Of hope and possibility.
It was a reminder
That we can achieve anything
If we set our minds to it.
The fish in the trees
Was a gift
From the universe
To remind us
That anything is possible.
