Floating within this watery world
Like seaweed, to and fro
I felt a stirring in my fronds
A gentle tingling in my heart
You came, a current in my sea
A warm glow, all surrounding
And I reached out with my branches
Absorbing your light
Struck by the electricity
Drowned in the emotions
I arose, breaking the surface
Crashing back into the waters
Joy trailing behind me like bubbles
The water now warm, alive and living
