Lay
me down to sleep, and I dremt the same
|
| In the waters of earth's womb, The Nine-Colored Fish I became |
| Slithering beauty, shining in a sea of blue, I swam |
| I am a fish, and I love, therefore, I am |
| Black |
| From the darkness still, all life thus is born |
| T'is the vision of night and the dawn of morn |
| Red |
| The sky is lit, and the energy anew will flow |
| But the fish has no idea where to look or go |
| Orange |
| Come courage to live, and courage to die |
| And life shows that its humor is wry |
| Yellow |
| The realization of knowledge is one of light |
| The fish becomes aware, but is filled with fright |
| Green |
| From the earth, Nature's touch pleases |
| So it calms the fish, and his trouble eases |
| Blue |
| Kindness springs forth from the giving heart |
| Cool flow, a clear day, the waves impart |
| Purple |
| And the coming night brings cold delight |
| Delicious pleasure fills the fish's sight |
| Gray |
| Now come death with its indifferent gloom |
| All things pass, and this world does soon |
| White |
| Horizon of eternity shows now its face |
| And merely return to the beginning place |
| And let me dream forever; never let me wake |
| The colors are my own, mine alone to make |
| Slithering beauty, shining in a sea of blue, I swam |
| I am a fish, and I love, therefore, I am |
