The Fire Burning Underwater

Blazing fire circled with the eternal sea,
What part of you first began to dream of me?
What part of you reached out through flame and through foam
To touch my newborn heart and to guide me home?

I can see you so clearly, O light of my gift.
When you are brilliant with yourself, sunrise could lift
Beyond the rim of the world, beyond the ocean,
And you would not notice, ablaze with emotion.

When I am within you, O light of my gift,
I notice nothing but the dancing light's shift,
The play of shadows down deep in the ocean,
A world of fire, of the song and the motion.

Blazing fire encircled with the eternal sea,
What part of you first began to blaze and to be?
What part of you first knew that I would need the foam
Combined with fire to show me the way to a poem?
