Pink and red stones never used. For a fish who never lived.

Clutching new roots in a tall clear vessel;

large petals, leafs of various hues of green

with veins of red and brown like a strong mans hands.

The source of this gift making me to strive to keep it alive

so that in spring it has a place of its own with earthly elements.

Inspired by the control to nurture nature

much like the womb from where I transpired

in essence the same sort of gift.
