A crimson river, labyrinthine flows br Down streams traversing sinister terrains br And onwards drifts along the path of life br Through myriad courses, rivulets, and veins br Along a way that takes it to the heart br Then on to where the ring of love remains br br A crimson river weaving through your mind br That twists and turns one billion-fold therein br To search out all the feelings that you feel br Plus all the memories that lie within br To raise a train of thought that is sublime br Of dreams, imagination set to spinbr br Valerie Dohrenbr br
