For those Koi-s that didn’t risk their life to become a Dragon
I wonder what happened to that Koi
who feared hardship so much that
he came back from the waterfalls.
His soulmate and also his friends had turned
into a dragon by now,
but he stared down through his life in water,
its comfort and its certainty all flashed by before his eyes.
When he was at the height to cross upstream,
incertitude overclouded his vision;
feeling suffocated by the impending danger
of being in Kaleidoscope of an unknown abstract future.
Though for the first time,
his fins were used at its full potential.
Be it not for the glorious cause
that people celebrated as Success.
It was by his own volition, a judgment made by
an individual that stands firm, in the end.
Today if I can meet him, I will say
“Let them laugh at you resolution.
You may not become a Dragon
but become more than a dragon by heart,
as you stayed behind with your own people.”
Still, I know I can’t find you in today’s world.
For those like you, stay unsustainable in their life.
They became cocooned by the innumerable
mortifications that made them vulnerable.
A vessel stayed at the end of the day
with nothing that could be called Life!
