I am a rock...


I am the rock, orange and yellow and red
protecting the fish,
my colors swirl together beautifully, making a design
in the water
so clear and blue.

I see the fish, so silent and peaceful,
I hear the water ripple, slowly,
I feel the magic floating around.

The fish float up, curiously, to look at the sunset magic,
so interested in the sphere of fire,
looking so brilliant and grand.

Soon the will come back to my shelter
safe and sound
and sleep the night away.

I am a rock.
