Here I stand Toes in your cold, vast forever Your soothing crescendos Mask my fear That your infinite skirts Could swallow me up Amidst your churning strength For the first time I understand your fierce love And can open My eyes to let my own Heart gush forth salty and Streaming down my face. My sister, strong Endless mother, Ancestor, progenitor Always spinning one, Mother of the beautiful swimming schools Wife of mysteries. Iya Mother Mystery Queen I find you in my Grandmother's stern love My sister's crying eyes Your children's strength And my own will to love. May I float In your foam-topped cradle Sheltered from the storm Within me until I no longer Fear the smashing of your Waves that echo My own restless heart. Omi O! Adupe Yemoja

My sister, strong Endless mother, Ancestor, progenitor Always spinning one, Mother of the beautiful swimming schools Wife of mysteries. Iya Mother Mystery Queen I find you in my Grandmother's stern love My sister's crying eyes Your children's strength And my own will to love. May I float In your foam-topped cradle Sheltered from the storm Within me until I no longer Fear the smashing of your Waves that echo My own restless heart. Omi O! Adupe Yemoja
