Red Rivers

Red Rivers 

Red rivers, meandering down 
I follow until I drown 
Will I ever see 
That the red rivers were 
Sprung from me 

Red rivers, upon my body floats 
Around a castle like moats 
Will you ever see 
Me drowning in the crowds 
From your towers in the clouds 

Red rivers, at thy feet they amass 
Willow whispers that they rasp 
Will they ever see 
Blinded by the blight 
Will you take them to the light 

Red rivers, I am last 
To an end that has come too fast 
Will I ever see 
A summer breeze sway willow frond 
Or shall I lay here like a frog in a pond 

Red rivers, must I go 
Deltas are near I know 
And I grow cold as snow 
Will I ever know 
Where the Red rivers go.
