The special Koi

The stones that filled the sea,

They all come once again through the skies,

They all fall into the ponds of the little kois,

That were made of gold,

They were crowns of these waters but not anymore,

The cries of these kois turned into a lullaby,

Those stones begin to drown them all,

The hopes turned into shards,

That crushed them into silver,

No more gold these koi were,

No more silver these koi were,

I wonder what happened to them,

All through this again.
