Depth of the Ocean

She is moonlight on the mountain,
clarity and breath of midnight.
She is the sigh of the deep ocean wave
collapsing onto the shore.
She is the free bird's wing,
leaving the earth far below.
She has seen a thousand centuries,
and yet she's young as the first dawn.

Can you hear her on the wind
when she sings to the morning light?
She sings to the birds,
teaches them to fly in springtime.
She sings to the seeds,
teaches them to sprout and make strong roots.
She sings to the flowers,
teaches them to burst from the bud.

Do you know her name?
She is the beginning of every new thing,
light and the stirrings of dawn.
She is the great ocean's depth,
the sweetness of clear cool water.
Hers is the truth that survives,
and hers the eye that witnesses.
Do you know her name?
