Luminescent Fish<\/strong><\/p>\n

I could be
\nmistaken,
\nI am not a
\ndoctor of the
\nmind.<\/p>\n

But I have
\nobserved
\nthat when
\nI am
\nsunk deep
\nin the dark
\nocean of
\ndread,<\/p>\n

that if I
\ndrift lazily,
\nbut eyes wide
\nopen,
\nin a minute,
\nor a morning,<\/p>\n

from the far
\ncorner of
\nan eye,
\nI will spot<\/p>\n

a luminscent
\nfish of
\nthought.<\/p>\n

If I swim
\nfor that light,<\/p>\n

before long
\nI am floating
\nin a school
\nof thoughts,<\/p>\n

just off an
\nisland in
\nthe Isles of
\nMystery.<\/p>\n

Now there\u2019s
\na sunlit
\nadventure
\nto be
\ndaydreamed.<\/p>\n

Would you
\ndo something
\nfor me?<\/p>\n

If and when
\nthis happens
\nto you,<\/p>\n

paint a picture
\nof it,
\nmake a movie or
\na dance or
\na song
\nof it,
\nor write a story or
\na poem, and
\nlet us ones
\nwho sometimes
\nsink deep
\nin the dark ocean<\/p>\n

see your light.<\/p>\n
