By Elizabeth Anne Periera
Peering attentively through the gated steel fence with astonishment,
I caught sight of the elegant Koi fishes swimming gracefully.
Splashing aimlessly in the rippling crystal-clear aquamarine pond,
Bold hues of orange, red, black and white paint their agile bodies,
Delicate, slippery and swiftly swimming in windy and circular motions,
Enchanting my hazel eyes with childlike wonderment and amazement,
Calming the turbulence of my beating heart with peaceful serenity,
A golden symbol of prosperity signifying these water dragons ravishing presence.
