Porpoise Without A Purpose

Wild fish, swimming freely, gracefully, quickly…
Unrestrained by civilization’s rules and expectations…
Time suspended…in his element.
Free to swim, free to jump, free to glide –
Free to experience life on the wild ocean.
No farm raised fish, not this one!
No carefully domesticated trained seal.
This one is made of frontier material –
Made for up where the northern lights shine,
The air is pure, the salmon abundant
And life is not in a cage.
How to revert to the wild?
How to become himself again?
God, give him direction.
You know.
