Salmon of water, Salmon of fire

Postby PHILIPPE » 12 Nov 2010, 18:14

Twisting & turning
Working their way upstream -
Salmon are fighting the river

See the sparkles
See the rainbows -
Salmon are fighting the river

A great torrent of light
Irradiates the fight -
Salmon are dancing
The dance of the river

Watch the magicians in
Their multi-colour robes -
Salmon are adding
Fire to the water

A wild heartbeat pulsates
Energizing the stream -
Salmon are chasing
The whiff of ecstasy

Summoning the forces
In the valley we hear
Salmon celebrating
The bliss of home coming!
