Fish in the Ocean (Poetry)

by: Hesika Bonifacio

Rain falls on the ocean,

As fish climb up the sky.

In the distance, mountains

Made of bees and butterflies.

I swim towards the shallows,

My legs against the tides.

I dream of sun tomorrow,

Sand scraping on my thighs.

Escape this world of nonsense,

I retreat into my skull.

Fill my lungs with longing,

For a new day, quite enthralled.
