Lifted,Lifted.
For all who haul
their bodies,
We are the ones who
left the sea
We crawled our way
out
Our legs were fins
then,
Our bodies weighed
us down
Our eyes pulled us
up.
I was there ,we
were all there
We have been
raising ourselves up
From the first
sound
From first light ,
from dust ,
From the ocean , in
the first drop
Lifted,lifted.
The dream was made.
Through this body I
am lifted
Cell by Cell
Star by Star
Lifted by the Fish,
the Fern,
Crocodile and
Dinosaur
Hydrogen and
Nitrogen
The Helix and it’s
Fossils
I am lifted
All that I am
before
Now lifted
In all these
deaths,
I rise
To stand on the
seashore
In this body
My hands above my
head
To give my
inheritance
To the ones who
will No longer crawl
I was there
We were all there
When we heard the
call
Salt water slips
From this body of
mine
And I move further
in
Leaving behind the
crashing waves and these footprints now fading in the sand.
