Waters

Still, they play
Sweet sounds echo from the gentle glade
The bliss of tranquillity, the tide of empowerment
Twitters thoughtlessly in their ears

Sweet sounds echo from the glade
Sly waters swirl under thin fingers
Twittering thoughtlessly
Innocence is found

Sly waters swirl under thin fingers
The wandering currents never rest
Innocence is lost
Unbound are the sweet melancholies

The wandering currents never rest
Endless is their breath
Unbound are the sweet melancholies
Returning are the energies of purity

Endless is their breath
Still, they play
Returning are the energies of purity
Empowering the bliss of tranquillity
