When time was young and fish were wise
a little boy would guard the boats

his people used for gathering food while
their gods watched over them from skies

that used to lie closer to the water and the earth,
for this was the place where the wind came to rest

and the sea would caress the edge of the world,
and bless those who trusted in the rhythm

of life until the cycle of death would
come and set them free, to watch over

a little boy who guarded the boats
when time was young and fish were wise.
A poem inspired by `foureyes's photo taken somewhere in China, "once upon a time..." [link]
