I scooped up a goldfish the other dayIt was scared, yet so pretty Time passes Your scales glared at me You were ugly I never liked you I let you go, your memory forgotten Making new friends, new loves With you watching me all the way through And then it's winter morning And you're swimming Upside down Dirt in your eyes And dirt in my heart Time passes again, and then it's spring And the edge of the pond where you sleep I never liked it You were supposed to be weak in that squared world but you grew so big I was supposed to be strong but without doing much I grew so big Then the next day came A purple flowered bloomed where you slept The red of your body is with the blueness of the sky You've become so beautiful Dirt in your eyes And dirt in my heart A flower bloomed from your body Yet nothing from my heart I finally know what real strength is I cry up into the blueness of the sky now
