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

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
