A Red Herring

Cast the line into the deep.
Draw an ocean of work.
Minnows fill blanks
and lake provides walls.
An odd shape pours forth
a proud stepchild of mother.
Haunt now the finishing fish
after labor sought was reeled.
hope was always in the water
but now it emerges strong.
A line and helpful bait
brought all the magic to life.
Sweat and bleeding tears
give breath to a wonder.
Now to release its full grown ilk.
Swim free and know your song.
