To my wife

Sitting by the Lagoon front watching calmness of the tides, with a sweet sound of wind pipe

Shinning sparkle of the ocean water and simmering tranquillity of the Ijede beach front!

I remembered.

Fishes, Crabs, snappers, oysters

Oyster, oh! The fisherman arrived with daily spoil, happy faces!

Beautiful fishes and all oceanic mammals but,

OOH! The Golden fish the best of them all is missing, somebody murmured Atlantis i panicked!!

But the thought of her somewhere, a shout away fill me with excitement.

If only the Golden fish can jump out of the river and brighten the muddy water full of cat fish, I will be at peace,

Oluchukwu (aka Erika Wuraola) the Golden fish, the Uhuru queen of Atlantis waters!

The mammals miss her presence with a dense Fog over the waters,

Her bright shining white smile,

The brash talking but often gentle smile that made simple things feel so loving.
