What can this be which teases me so?
Submerged; hidden; no way to know!
Fear tinged with mystery, perhaps a bit of excitement
fills me with insatiable cravings for enlight'ment.
Pull... tug... yank & sheer fight
exhaust my arms beyond the limits of might!
This battle of wills from which only one'd be victorious
would determine the Hereafter for the lesser one of us....
The sun shone warm on that fateful day
when Nature struck back in a most curious way.
The water be deep 'neath the waves & the spray
where I was dragged by the one that did not get away.
If Time could be turned & wound back at all
I wouldn't be hanging on this fish's wall.
