And these veins are like rivers
like mountains that birth rivers

and seas

because the source of the purest river 
and the vastest ocean
is a high mountain breeze

which whispered

come forth
come forth

so it sprung forth

the fountain of life

which feeds 
my very origin

the very source
the essence

The beginning and the end

so the pain, the yearning, the thrust of longing

in my heart

longs

to belong again
and allow it to belong

inside my temple 
to be released

into the world
