How the Sea got its Salt

Our niece Michelle took this powerful picture the last time she came to Australia... of a bit of our south coast. She is coming for another visit soon and that is very exciting for all of us 'Down Under'. The snap captures the essence of the words below.

There are fish in the yammin there is life
The yammin is one great Yam the godess
Yam contended with Baal and Mot
She was a force to be reckoned with
Within her flowed life and death in abundance
She watched as Baal and Mot struggled for supremacy
Over air and land over her waves
And endeavoured to submerge them both

Her substance flowed out of the bowels of 'Erets

As 'Erets cracked and moved his crust

Yam expanded in opportunity and power

Searching for a new crevasse to fill

Baal was a minor god of war and destruction

Mot existed to enclose the dead

Both in Yam and on the surface of 'Erets

But could do nothing to subdue the force of Yam

When she decided to display it

And Mot was there to take the crumbs

'Erets expands and feeds Yam

His minerals dissolve as Yam struck him

'Erets slowly broke up and lost to Yam

And Yam gathered up and found his salt

Without this harvest Yam would diminish

If Yam over-gathers she would surely wane

She would smother the life within her

She carries within her an infinite life

All sharing Yam's plunder of 'Erets

Baal does not understand and Mot does not care

But Yahweh gives her knowing

And has created in Yam this gift

As the blood of 'Erets came gushing up

Gushing up as the God's Great Flood

With salt disolved

To recycle life enclosed in time
