We walked the uncommon path
Like brave explorers
Rediscovering the forgotten

And told stories of hidden secrets
Like moving rocks
Folded shapes soft as cotton

A last ride through time
Swallowed us up
Before we walked the path to freedom

We thanked the sun for its dance
Across the ringing water
As our naked feet touched the bottom

And so we shed our skins and fears
Baptised like a newborn
Gasping for its first breath

With salted hair and pulsing waves
We found warmth in the cold
We found life after death

Enclosed and entwined
We could never let go
Nothing else would matter

Under swan wings
And the singing chaffinches
We tasted skin and lips

Following the tide
We would find the shore
And each other's love
