All the water below me came from above
All the clouds living in the mountains
Gave it to the rivers
Who gave it to the sea, which was their dying
And so I float on cloud become water central sea surrounded by white mountains
The water salt once fresh
Cloud fall and stream rush
Tree roots and tide bank
Leading to the river mouths
And the mouths of the rivers sing
Into the sea the stories buried in the mountains
Give out into the sea
And the sea remembers and sings back
From the depths where nothing is forgotten
