The Great Element of LifeI.The Ganges and Nile meet in an incestuous embrace,As the Mediterranean looks on in utter disgraceThe very essence of being lurks hauntingly in these waters.Waves constantly giving and taking,The great wind breathes and stiflesYet unmoved by the forces that encompass this coreBuried and tainted yet protected until that day,Yes! That day!That day, when the name to which one answers is calledWhen the sound resonates with a thundering clashLife in the deep blue makes drowning seem so welcomingSo comforting when one can tell its fate before its beginningJust to escape from that Red Hot…Yes! Hot and Red particles that kill yet bring lifeII.I keep drifting trying to find a homeCan my heart be where my home is?Home, where is home?Home…Broken even before it could be made whole,HomeSo, am I forced to carry my home with me?Or does my home carry me?I try to grasp land something tangibleSomething to hold on toBut it is so porous; it flows through me yet sustains me,I cannot hold it for it holds me.I cradle it but it gives me lifeI need it more than it needs me.I am called dust,I am called sand,Home calls me pearl so that is what I am.My core unshaken through this tumultuous voyageNursed in the barrage, while hidden in the boson of a clam.III.Your discovery is where this deep blue takes youPlanning your homecoming to A foreign place you once knewDrops you on a shore and tries to declare your fate.Many try to consume you yet they cannot swallow you, They lay upon you but cannot become youThrough natural and ordinary to the simpleYou glisten in purity and in all your gloryStretched across an expanse of space, Deep and WideSix feet under or twelve feet highDead or AliveReally doesn't matterIn either state, you made a home in yourselfBuilt a house with yourselfThe only difference is...Dust you are but pearl you became.
