Borne of the waters

Borne of the waters

By

Jude Kyrie

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

Now after countless eons have passed.
I walk outside of its briny boundaries.
My feet still pulled by it's presence
Pulling me to it farthest depths.
As I step into the edges 
of its wet sand.
I hear her whisper 
in salted 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.
