in wild abandon
________________

he lives where golden daisies blow
and lilies waft and silvergrass
grows in wild abandon

and just as he bids them flow
and flourish well and blossom
he bids them blow in sunset wind
and grow, in wild abandon

he knows just where the goldfinch hides
and where the gentle sparrow flies
he knows just how the northstar shines
and how the clouds bear rain
and how the sun will rise, again

he flourishes in wave and spray
in roaring surf and tidal pool
and on the sea, he wafts away
and floats in wild abandon

he bids the tide to ebb and flow
he bids the golden daisy blow
and as they waft and shine
and flow, in sunset wind
he lives in wild abandon
