Kun to Peng
A fish named Kun
swimming in the water
living like other fish with joy and laughter.
Tiny her size, puny her thoughts
living in her comfort zone
and the pleasure destiny has brought.
One day in the ocean
when the winds blew so hard
hurricanes, tsunamis - nature's rockstars
turned everything into shards.
Nowhere to go and nowhere to escape
Kun facing her deep-seated fears
were unknown and unstaged.
Fighting spirit, survival instinct
a phoenix was born at that moment.
A fish turned into a bird named Peng
A dazzling behemoth rose from dormant.
Peng rose up and flew high in the sky
leaving hurricanes and saying final goodbyes
to her friends and foes, apprehensive and shy
They chose to die instead of fighting the plight like KUN.
