The Water King

The molten rock came to the surface The King of Water Covered the rock in the sea Rock exploded Threw themselves high Huge trails littered the sky Of rock that cooled and hissed Soon the seas Surrounded the rock The endless battering Made beaches Made mountains Chasms Gorges The Fire King forges The Water King , cools Soon the seas So barren Would be filled With gifts from the Earth King For fish in their multitudes Inhabited a world of swimming The King of Water Explored the depths Of the sea Of the meaning It became the dreaming For on the sea, and under it Dreams are made For you For me When the earth settled and laid Fresh water lakes filled The cracks in the rock That the Fire King made The water gave life To everything The fish The animals To Heartstone The dreaming Such consciousness Became the Stream of Sighs For water is alive It lives within us all
