Trout

I thank the trout.

Rainbows for
oceans, great lakes;
emotions, fierce takes;
return to small streams.
Yearn and fall dreams.

Browns for
the depths and the darkness;
the steps that bring sharpness;
attention and caution.
Apprehension forgotten.

Brooks for
innocence and grace;
forgiveness, mistakes;
the sharpness of small.
The largeness of all.

Each for
persistence and learning;
existence, returning;
pursuing and healing.
Renewing and feeling.
