Swamp

(2017)

I was walking in a forest
With flowers and green trees
The sky was clear and blue
With a lovely summer breeze

I was walking in a forest
The trees began to thin
The ground slowly turned soppy
Water touched my skin

I was walking in a forest
With my eyes up to the sky
The ground below me failing
I still am clueless why

I was walking in a forest
Not knowing where to go
The water slowly rising
Surpassing my elbow

I was walking in a forest
Until I could no more
Wading through the water
Walking became a chore

I was walking in a forest
With no end in sight
Lost inside the darkness
When I found the light

I was walking in a forest
When hope came rushing in
After passing through this valley
I could enjoy a new begin
