    The poem discusses drinking water as a metaphor for embracing life's flow and finding inner peace. It describes water as both forceful in eroding willful resistance, as well as placid in meandering slowly and pooling peacefully. Drinking this "living water" refreshes the soul, douses dreadfulness, cleanses carelessness, and acts as a tonic for the soul and cordial for the heart. Overall, the poem advocates surrendering to life's currents rather than fighting against them.

    Original Description:

    Plunging in the water, my soul absorbs the joy of refreshing bubbles

    Ill Never Be the Same

    Drink
    If you are thirsty, drink1 Is this self-delusion? Or, fulfilled destiny? Go with the flow, really? The current charges through an unbroken circuit Whats it going to be? Drown in self-deception or, soar underwater! I come from the same source; and, rest in the same bed -Ill never be the same Plunging in the water, my soul absorbs the joy of refreshing bubbles Whats the plan, whats the point? Chaos out of order or, graceful harmony? The water is forceful It seeks its own level and erodes willfulness With unnerving buzzing, Order and chaos swarm The way through a beeline The water is placid; it meanders slowly and pools in peacefulness. Plunging in the water, my soul absorbs the joy of refreshing bubbles I drink living water: it douses dreadfulness, it cleanses carelessness. I drink to Life to Love: a tonic for the soul, a cordial for the heart.
