I am in the womb of the Goddess
and She is in mine.
I am in the heart of the Mother
and She is in mine.

I am the Ocean wide
Heaving beneath the silver Moon.
The primal waters ever flow,
I breathe them in and out
as the Tide.

Are my tears not the salt of the Sea?
She feels the grief in me
She feels the Sea inside me
Her blood is my blood
Ever it flows
Ever she guides me.

There is a Sea inside me
Heaving beneath a silver Moon.
Forever am I in that womb
of healing, enchanting light.
Forever do these waves shimmer
Like ancient stars in endless night.
