The waters lapping the shore of one country
Will tomorrow lap the shore of another land
The waters rolling in on gentle waves one day
May on the next rage tsunami strong
And here is a shallow bottom with red sea plants
Still able to reap the energy of the waning sunlight
And there is a bottom so far away
It lies innocent of any ray of the sun
Lit only by the bio-luminescence
Of strange and secret creatures
Or by the fleeting golden glow of emergent magma
Shining for a brief moment before solidified and greyed
By the moving tide of waters less hot
Than the molten places within earth blue
Here on and within this third rock
That which is not solid
Seeks out the crack and crevasse
On every surface
Every indentation pebble-wise or horizon spanning
And pours its nature therein
Filling its being
With the living and the still
With the organic and the inorganic
Creating this third realm
Beyond the aerial and the mineral
The liquid the mother of life
Here we stand
As our mother does
Who lies between us
Filled with life as she is
With life calling to the life within the other
Saying come closer
That I may touch those rhythms
The beat of the living within
That I may hear those songs
The music of the living within
That I may see those movements
The dance of the living within
That having you here at hand
We may share
As close as we can
The life living within
The ocean that each of us is
So come as soon as you can
Cross that ocean deep and dear
Come over the mother of us all
And we will sit by the waters somewhere
Everywhere
And let our two oceans
Their surfaces and their depths
Their stillness and their vitality
Their spaces and their communities
Commune as one
Bring all of you
To all of me
Come be with me my love.
