I took the decision
Lying stretched on the strand
Under the black moon
that is watching me
I took the decision

I whisper it to you
"Here I am, your daughter..."
in warm tears
running down my face
I whisper to you...

"Thank you..." I say
"for my mortality
cause only through it
I can live eternally..."
I thank you for it...

I embrace the Earth
the World
You
Feel you heart beat
deep under my feet
I look through the dark
at the wide, blue sea
hear your voice
the waves' murmur
that calls me
And I walk on
towards you...

I took the decision...
I feel your skin
Sand, stones, seaweed
I feel your arms
gently touching my legs
drawing me...

I whisper to you...
"Take me in..."
I walk on
till you at last
close above me
surround me...

I thank you for it...
I become one with you
to come from you
at the same moment
born into a new life
dedicated to YOU
