Through our elemental exchange,
We are elementally changed;
As is true of sun and rain,
No part of me, and no part of you
Has twice touched the Ocean;
Its waters have never known our existence hitherto—
As is true, the salt of our skin, nor salt of the sea
Belong to any one being;
They are but glittering grains passing through,
As is true of the currents that color our moods;
We are elementally changed;
As is true of sun and rain,
No part of me, and no part of you
Has twice touched the Ocean;
Its waters have never known our existence hitherto—
As is true, the salt of our skin, nor salt of the sea
Belong to any one being;
They are but glittering grains passing through,
As is true of the currents that color our moods;
All bodies, continually renewed.
