fruitful abundance is life’s devotion
the cosmos and earth created for home

As we search the river’s source,
It jumps the banks of our twisted past,

A gentle warmth rejuvenates the earth
And dormant spring awakens to endow

A crimson pizzaz blushing opaline skies
Where eagle flies questing higher highs
Thrilling endearing vibes of enamored eyes
