Fish swimming for no shore, a poem

I love you,
and my fair share
of countless encounters
with you
that always grant me
a few moments of truth,
the true freedom
I experience
entering from one prison
to another, and another,
again,
to bear the fruits of
pleasure and pain,
and many more,
like a fish swimming for no shore
with a momentary stay on the giant hands
before being let down
where it belongs.
I love you.
