in her mind...

she slips into a river of dreams
covered in cool ripples, endless streams
of thoughts and emotions crystalline schemes
that haunt and taunt her realities themes
of the injustices that she redeems
in her minds eye reflecting the hard extremes
that are unfolding beneath the surfaces icy seams
clouding her vision as the waves fold over, fading gleams
of light diminishing below the surface hiding her screams
