The Red River
Like a tiny boat
Swimming through
The Red River;
Impossibly small
Incredibly large
Like the spark
Of a gas stove
In the back of the room
The warmth spreads
Like an invisible wave
Thoughts swimming pointlessly,
Obey the pulse
They stand
And the words flow
Like water in a
River
The Red River

This piece is intended to convey the way that confidence can be found; and the effects that it has. The Piece uses the metphor of 'The Red River' to describe the structure of the brain and the blood vessels in it.
