Your nimble feet make prints in my sand
You have done good for yourselves
Since you left my wept embrace and crawled ashore
Every boy is a snake is a lily
Every pearl is a lynx is a girl
Sweet like harmony made into flesh
You dance by my side
Children sublime
You show me continents
I see the islands
You count the centuries
I blink my eyes
Hawks and sparrows race in my waters
Stingrays are floating across the sky
Little ones
My sons and my daughters
Your sweat is salty
I am why
I am why
I am why your sweat is salty
I am why
I am why
I am why
