*Even before I came here
I was part of the ancient sea.
The primordial mix
Salty and teaming with existence
Now after countless eons
I walk outside of its boundaries.
My feet feel it's strong presence
Pulling me to it depths
As I step into the edges
of wet sand.
I hear it's whisper
in salted winds.
Come back to me
Come back
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
the gulls cry from above.
Only new beginnings
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.
You belong to the sea.*
