"There's a river meandering through the mind." Follow it and leave the world behind. Don't be in such a rush. Hear a nightingale. See a thrush. There are many things to find. The space inside the head is not confined. All things are sweetly intertwined. Sipping ice-cold lemonades, Annette, the neighbor girl in braids - such memories, by the riverside, enshrined. I will stroll by its grassy banks so free, skipping and whistling to eternity, knowing I can never be wrong, with a feeling in my heart, so strong, I'll see the river float into the sea, and, one day, you'll be together with me.
