A welcoming danger calls out to thee

In the form of pure nature, A disgusting beauty

Perceived as a fearsome & miserable being

The shape of a stranger emerges from the fog

Cast out to the leeches & the gators

Left to rot & suffer forever

With the black waters rising tide

The swamp is alive with every single eye

Watching wherever you go

The chains of a broken curse

Unshackling shame of words

Altered perspectives

Become worthless

Release all physical attachments

Connected to the earth

Transforming over time

Dissolving into dust

Isolated

Territory

Seeking answers

For the truth

Spirits of the swamp

A collective energy

Whispering shadows

Calling these murky depths home

Descending deeper into

A darkness embraced

By the moonlights reflection

Guiding the stars

Queen of the forest

Lurking beyond the veil

Snake eyes watching you

Wherever you go

Lost inside the woods where everything dies

Abandoned by society

Damned to the bogs for death

Brewing in the soup, stirring up the stew

Reaping the benefits of the bones

A creature of delusional divinity

Being chewed on by maggots
