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.
