~a day in my life~

 One day, a beautiful brook trout glistening in the sun. Its feeding needs brought him to his end.

Fought a helpless fight against an irresistible force that was upon him, me.

Excitement as always filled me, seemed like every catch was like the first.

Holding him in my hand he struggled, they all did... looking at him, like I've done a thousand times, into his eye then saw deep terror, fear then hate, anger, needing, helplessness, despair.

Letting him go to his home became my thought leaving the pond never to return to that way of life again ~Duke Deltree~
