~ The Fountain ~

Having panted like deer

and repented well as Lady Samaria

we find that harmonizing

Life's acidity & sweetness with You

is our aid, refreshing

the debt paid before all charges

Duties dirty labor

with the wrong leader

My manual teaches

to wash

watch and pray
for both sediment and sentiment

fight hardest to make their way
to the bottom of hearts and cities

The True and Living current

simply flows, smoothing rough stones

for Victory in one hand

leaving the other free to praise

and cup itself just so

as to never thirst again
 Amen.
