White Water

White water, why are you white?
Water running off the rocks in the creeks
and rivers, still calm water like a mirror,
Swift water, white as the fallen snow.

White water, why are you white?
White as the puffy clouds?
Swift streaks of water in motion.
White as an aged head...

Does that mean wisdom is white?
White water, why are you white?

Great question! Is wisdom white? Does it has any kind of color, form, or characteristical sound pulse at all? Your curiosity tickles! =) Thanks for the experience @.@ PS: Well, I was talking about a sweet form of stymulus but not precisely sugar, and I've never sensed drugs so I can't tell xD I can explain later if you want to =)
