It's.......!
A billion years ago
I struggled to survive
In the steaming,
Glutinous,
Nutritious
Fluid of Life.

A million years ago
I was free of the Magic Substance,
The memory of my Mothers Womb
Lost in the subconcious, panting, Rain Dance.
I was free to walk the Land,
To stop, suspicious, at the seaside strand.

Ten thousand years ago
The Ice Age now another memory,
The Parting of the Earth
Leaves me wonderously free
To skip my stones across the Sea.
To marvel at this inner thought
That this Liquid
Would again
Mother me.

Less than one life time ago,
Too young "Danger" to know,
I leapt
Shouting,
Describing my Rain Dance in a falling curve,
My breath stopped by my primitive nerve
That once again I could be safe,
Secure,
In this Liquid
Pure.

I found that I could Swim.
