Emerge from depths below
We shed our skin to stow
Sand between our toes
Bare flesh exposed
To full moon glow
Dancing free, and we know
See you in the undergrowth
While fire’s rage and grow
Curiosity will take you in its undertow
But we’ll be gone before you know
Back to the sea, my sisters and I go
And only the bravest dare to follow
