BORN OF WATER

I was born of water of the sea

in the beginning of all time

it has been my birthing fluid

it courses through my veins

it was the rain that fell

that washed away the rocks

and sent their essence flowing

to the ever growing seas

that rain had sampled everything

every thing the rain had ever touched 

and the seas became a natural tea

long steeped from all that nature is

it has come to be a living thing

my cells contain that ancient sea

they contain those ancient rocks

the sea is that which gives me soul.
