Wow to compare humans to fishes in analogy metaphor the way u have done in impressive muse and motivating words is great to read. Yes we can learn to swim against the tide, quite a challenge but possible. Kudos. Pls do leave your thoughts on my latest poem too, titled, 'To stand tall and proud yet to humbly bow'

But we are fish, living and loving in the flowing river. We have a heart that knows the art of regretting its past we can swim in any direction we can restart with perfection. Akhtar Sahab, i love this poem specially for the comparison made with a fish. Truly! Time only runs in one direction - forward and never backward. We as human beings can look back into the past either rejoice our actions or regret it. The poem flows like a serene river reflecting on various aspects of the human mind. Beautiful imagery We can be dearer than the dearest. We can be nearer than the nearest. None of us is time we are the fish that can swim against the streams. I am happy that we are not time but a fish that has the capacity to swim against tide. Wonderful Philosophy portrayed through this wonderful poem. A sure 100

This is a brilliant flow of time that runs forward and never this runs backward. This has really no heart to regret. Human being has a heart that gives feelings, smile and crying. This heart beats and holds memories and perception. We can swim and restart any work. We can attain perfection. River of life vanishes in the ocean and our ocean is God. Brilliant and excellent poem is shared here...10

Though Time moves only forward, we can go back to the past and regret over times when we went wrong....! This regret will help us take greater precautions not to repeat them. It will also give us a chance to ask forgiveness if we have wronged someone by word or deed. Thus we get a chance to cement relationships if there has been a crack somewhere! A meaningful poem with profound psychological implications!
