A River in the Mind

A river I imagine flows within.

A stream tumultuous a stream chaste

In twists and turns it ventures forth                     

Times relaxed times in haste        

A forlorn visage of quivering silver

Bare its soul to the gazing star.

And shadows among wizardly woods

Dark secrets whisper.

A dancing damsel’s lyrical rupture                       

Overflowing the cup of life

A lilting tune in obscure lines                                     

Drowning down all wanton strife

                                                                                                

A river I imagine flows within.

Chanting a hymn profound

An ablution for the soul

The river is inward bound.
