Arms woven tightly
                  across my anxious chest
    My legs are spun together
                                       protecting the nest
I am ready.

                                                                                  There is excitement,                            nervousness
                                                             euphoria                                              fear.

                                                                                          I feel the world's array
                                                                                     flying over me,
                                                                                pulsing around me.
                                                                         The hearbeat of the stingray
                                                                                                                           throbbing throughout the sea.

The current, she is cold
                                  but the heartbeat keeps me warm.

I am a fetus of the ocean
My mother is the sea
                                                              My father will not let me drown
                                                              For he's the music guiding me.
                      
                             Leading me to adventure
                                                                                   to creation
                                                                                                                   to love
preparing my mind to see.
