Even before I existed
I was part of the ancient seas.
That primordial mix of all life.
Salty and teaming
with the origins of all things.

Now countless eons have passed.
I walk outside of its briny boundaries.
My feet still pulled by it's presence
Pulling me to its farthest depths.

As I step into the edges
of its wet sand.
I hear her whisper
in salted sea winds.

Come back to me,
Come back my child
to your mother.
You are mine
and I am yours.

I belong to the sea
She is my blood.
The wavelets
are my heartbeat.
The seagrass my veins.

Nothing ever ends.
come back to us.
the gulls cry from above.
Only new beginnings exist
Only new life.

You belong to me
She pulses
from her mighty depths.
I am your eternal mother.

Breathe your air
Sing in the sunlight of earth.
But return to me.
Remember my son
You belong to the sea
