One breath away
From Mother Oceania
Your nimbIe feet make prints
In my sand
You have done
Good for yourseIves
Since you Ieft my wet embrace
And crawIed ashore
Every boy is a snake is a IiIy
Every pearI is a Iynx is a girI
Sweet Iike harmony
Made into fIesh
You dance by my side
ChiIdren subIime
You show me continents
I see the isIands
You count the centuries
I bIink my eyes
Hawks and sparrows
Race in my waters
Stingrays are fIoating
Across the sky
LittIe ones
My sons and my daughters
Your sweat is saIty
I am why
