Analysis of Ancient of the Days
We who live on this wonderful blue planet
All start from unknown beginnings
Moving from microscopic origins
In union with Celestial
Terrestrial rivers
We travel in time
Waters move us
Widening banks
Breaking boulders
Currents pressure us
Time and time again
Continuously pushing us
On to the endless water body
Where we experience the deepest of conversion
Angels at home where we began
Ancients of the Day
