Glowworms

A river, flowing and moving, a strong current

Water, flowing, the erosion of river rocks to pebbles

Red, the water, dark and thick like blood

Surrounded by a lush, green forest

Filled to the brim with the veins of the trees

Ever so flowing, ropes and vines filled with ambrosia

Leading to a cave, so dense

Like a dire wolf baring his massive teeth

Numerous stalactites and stalagmites 

Glistening gray stone, with the river flowing into the mouth

Mind, noun, the faculty of an entity's thoughts and consciousness

Inside, darkness for miles, for kilometers

Piercing rocks from the ceiling and floor

Nothing but the unknown and blackness

Covered in memories hidden away

Intentionally in the dark

Screaming at the bedrock

Until there is light

A bright blue light, dozens of them, like stars

Covering the walls and flickering violently

In the shape of a face with well-defined cheekbones

Long flowing hair, with the eyes shining brightest

Love, noun, an intense feeling of deep affection

The definition doesn’t give it justice, does it?
