WE WILL DRINK PURE WATER

 

WE WILL DRINK PURE WATER

We will drink pure water

Mirroring the skies

and be refreshed

and the splashing of many waters

will soothe all distress

and the citrus sun.

to be a child of the shade

to gather the shade into you as

though it were violets

this I will do

and drink orangeade

when the day is done.

Be like a lily

In the quiet vale

Where sadness pales to sheer nothing

Where what is dreamed is lived

And the place is simple to find.
