Out he walked
Into the blue
Into the land
Where the oceans knew
His name
His past
He had come home
At long last

He walked in the fields
That had held him
When he was small
Taking care of him, feeding him
Fending for him, teaching him
The rules of the place where he was to go
The place they called Earth
Where animals thought themselves supreme
And reigned over all that was blue or green
But now he had returned from there
Taken his lessons to reflect on them here
To sit in the place where he had once learnt
And pass on his knowledge back to the earth

From which, there will another arise
His equal in all aspects, but wise
Because he will have the teachings of his predecessor
Along with the knowledge he will gain on his own
And will use it to restore peace to the Earth
