[Dandeli]

 

A sirenian calms herself in a cave.

 

"Oh First one.

I would burden myself with your ardent heart."

"Oh First one.

And yet things are very muddling, aren't they?"

"Oh First one.
You, who died impassioned, amid war's tumult, is moment's answer the one that's right?"

"Oh First one.

This heart feels as though it has made a big mistake."

"Oh First one.
I am like you. I am not like the Serpent. And like you, him I will seek."

"Oh First one.

I must call upon your Father. Therein lies strength: therein lies wisdom."

"Oh First one.
I've followed my heart long. But isn't it time to follow my mind?"

"Oh, Me.

Let matter coalesce in harmony.
 

Balance like Day and Night.
 

Like Sun and Moon.
 

Shark and Fodder.
  

Wind and Stillness.
  
Land and Ocean.

 

Heart and Mind.

 

Let's let three beats elapse, and then three breaths."
