Did you ever want to swim with the fish? Of course you haven’t, because you’re free. Your life is so much different from mine. You see a sea of water, an ocean of freedom, a boundless expanse. You have no concept of life in a cage, where one can’t see all this. But when you crave freedom, you dream, of submerging into the sea and swimming with the multicolored fish. The waves carry you, washing away the pain, and you are in no danger of drowing because of the great levity in your body, The pain in your soul drags you down, but the waves take that pain away. Do you realize how easy it is to drown when soul pain drags down your body? You have come into my life and washed away the soul pain without me submerging into the sea. If you could only grasp the angs of my soul, fearful that the waves of the Black Sea will carry you to distant lands without me!
