K* Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

K is for Koi
my favorite fish in the pond
graceful to looK at
with shining colorful scales
of gold, yellow, orange, red or pinK.

Watching the Koi as they swim
in the pond, together they live peacefully
so soothing to the eyes
and refreshing to the mind
restocKing the energy,
or what the Chinese call as Ki, chi or qi
gives clarity to the being
energy or ki that was depleted
from the shambles of worK and
the busyness in the everyday business
relax

relax, watch the Koi as they swim
give time to replenish yourself
have time to be tranquil
enKindle your heart
it can be the Key
to unlocK your innermost being
and may give you
the Know-how
on how to stay and be happy
despite the lacK
and maKe you thanKful
and will maKe you say,
that you are still lucKy.

relax,
learn a lesson
from the Koi.
not acquiring our desires,
can be a sroKe of lucK.
