Idealism

Youthful dreams of very rich future A life to enjoy planet's water pure Kingdoms and powers are offered to him As he drinks crystal (clear) water filled to brim Lush green grass grows wild by the cool clear stream Softens the pleasant place to dream his dream Most beautiful place on this hemisphere Will remain when thoughtful living adhere The dream he dreams is to rule the whole earth Where live in a great gold gilded city he'll birth Then he changes goes wild having his fling Soon forget reasons for his rule to bring Lost in the power, influence, shiny gold If only __a different story told

this is great, shows how much a dream is truly just a power in our hands that we must teach ourselves how to control. ~Always&Forever Lynette

Well written an excellent choose of words, Sara! Good refelction on the photograph. Thank you for your comment on "Cotton Fileds" When I stayed at Kibbutz Erez in Israel in the 1070ies, I loved the view of the cotton fields there, a brillant white against the azure sky. Yes, picking cotton is a very hard job if it's done by hand. Glad that I revived your memories with that Tanka....Gert
