The Rainbow Fish
from Ocean Myths
by Isa Ortiz
Big as a whale, Scary to some extent. The fish who ate Buddha Is in everyone’s stomach ache
Four elements in his scales he designates, Blue made of ice, Represents water or Jal. Green made of grass, Stands for earth or Prithvi. Yellow out of light, Air or vaju, And red of flames, Fire or agil, Buddhism in an artless skin.

Buddha instills the mistaken law, A God in their religion does not exist, But neither does the believe, that the universe has no creator to believe in. For his teachings he was punished, Swallowed by the rainbow fish was he. A space for reflection was given
Lying on the sticky gut
He was saved by a fisherman four days after the fish’s lunch.
