Deep in the belly

Deep in the belly of sea

We find a way to breathe

Down in the darkest depths

We walk step by step

Into the belly of the big whale

Big whale of life

Like Jonah swallowed and denied light

But carried forth to salvation

To once more walk this life

Upon the land in the light

Out we came from the sea

Like we did before

In the beginning though we had to grow legs and crawl

This time round, we are complete

Within a life that is spiritually replete

Striding out the mouth of the whale

Straight out of the darkest deepest sea

We are reborn to start once more

This is the way and the spiritual law

On a journey that we did before.

        Always. Thank you for allowing venus to live, carrying her seed through the waves of the sea, on the tips of your winds.
