Flow, Bacchanal!

Make up your mind!
You flow like water,
Move with the wind.
Turn like the tides,
You, Dream’s daughter,
Streaming through
The void of this life,
Don’t avoid strife!
Be wild, be a child,
Dance in beams of light
Wild girl, bacchanal,
Bell-voiced, laurel-leafed
Tread and stomp and whirl
Poised to jump into cool,
Thin air, in relief, never
Return to burn on earth.
