I cast my net
reached for the biggest fish
It swallowed me whole
and spit
out my net.
I survived
recovered what was lost -
my net had been stretched
broken
torn
forever changed.
I cast it again
landed a crab
claws so thick
claws so sharp
it slipped
out
left a big hole
let garbage came in -
my net collapsed
was on life support...
Then this fisherman came in
and as I reflect on it
he told me to cast my net
but I did not want to give in
so he said:
"throw it with everything,
cast it one more time"
so I did
and until today
I see miracles with every mend.
