[1415] Gone Fishing

Guest poem sent in by G. Balakrishnan <G.Balakrishnan@>

I'm going fishing
I got me a line
Nothing I do is gonna make a difference
So I'm taking my time

And you ain't never gonna be happy
Anyhow, anyway
So, I'm going fishing
And I'm going today

I'm going fishing
Sounds crazy I know
I know nothing about fishing
But just watch me go

And when my time has come
I will look back and see
Peace on the shoreline
That could have been me

You can waste a whole lifetime
Trying to be
What you think is expected of you
But you'll never be free
May as well go fishing

	-- Chris Rea

Chris Rea, unfortunately is not too popular, at least in the circles I have
moved around in.  However I really feel that he is one incredible song writer.

'Gone Fishing' somehow for me conveys a sense of total freedom. It's a
different sort of feeling when you just let yourself go at something especially
if you have never done it before and know nothing about it. In addition the
song also has this subtle carefree attitude towards a lot of mundane things we
end up doing day in and day out without really ever stopping and looking at
them objectively.
