Sunday School Lesson in Oakridge, Tennessee - Doug von Koss

[Larry Robinson]

Sunday School Lesson in Oakridge, Tennessee
 
The teaching was so clear.
 
The golden fish were perfectly koi.
          Not channel cat in dark flat rivers
          or darting trout in clear mountain waters.
 
No.  In this man made pond on Black Oak Ridge
surrounded by blooming dogwood trees,
trees full of the Cardinal’s red flash and song
these miracles displayed their perfect beauty.
 
Silvery yellow white
      Dotted gold orange
          Angel wing tails
                Rolling fat sleekness
                     In their water ballet.
 
Koi being perfectly who they are
          in front of God and everyone.
 
I whisper to the koi,
“Namaste, beauties, namaste!”
 
       - Doug von Koss
