Vision: Fish and Ships
Vision: Fish and Ships
28th February 2014
I saw fish swimming in their normal habitat. Suddenly, there was an earthquake under the ocean.
A fountain of sand and oil rose up from the sea bed and obscured visibility. The sea bed shifted/ churned and all beneath was in chaos; the sea divided into several sections. The submarine earthquake had caused absolute pandemonium underwater.
I saw fish that naturally swam in the coldest of waters, thrown into climes that were complete opposite to that which they were accustomed to. Every type of fish found itself in a contrary environment.
The fish were perplexed by the sudden change. They swam around frantically but could not find suitable food.
Suddenly, ornately designed, large ships appeared on the horizon. Some ships were silver, others gold.
The bowels of these ships were transparent and they all carried within it, the different environments best suited to the varied fish.
Several gold ships joined together to accommodate the larger fish.
The ships, be they gold or silver, were unmanned.
I saw that there was a black-hole in the sea bed. Some fish chose not to enter the unmanned ships, but swam into this black-hole. These would not find their way out.
Stood on high places were men with fishing nets, calling to the fish, promising that if they would enter their nets, then these men would ensure that the fish were returned to their natural environment.
The fish that entered these nets never made it to their original location.
These were unsettling times for the entire ocean.
But inspite of the turmoil all around, the fish that had entered the unmanned gold or silver ships were safe; they shone, were healthy and bred and multiplied.
The ships would return the fish to their original location when normalcy had been restored on the ocean floor.
