Origin of Life

December 14, 2013

From the same ocean are we,
Only in this ocean can we be free.
From her motherly waters we leap,
Journeying to the life we seek.
Leaving her bright golden arms,
That will remain our ever lingering charms.
Through this world let her guide us,
Always knowing she's beside us,
In the end we jump back to her,
And bask in the light that flows all through her.
