Daydream Swamp

Sometimes I long for something I'll never know  
Trees dripping with moss and long strands of green life  
Water plants lazily growing in the holy water  
Ebbing and flowing with the casual current
Murky, filled to the brim with a mild tense nature  
A ripple that could be a turtle swimming about  
Or a gator moving... Hunting under the water  
I long for a boat engine louder than my demons  
Of snakes laying on trees glimmering in the light  
A living rich woman's jeweled necklace
Warming itself in a rare sunlight ray through the trees  
Water bugs racing along on the surface of the water  
Narrowly avoiding many frogs sharp attention  
Some making music only their bodies can make  
I long for heavy air and a humidity I'll never know  
There's something in my heart that longs for a house  
Built on stilts right above the water with a dock  
That dingy boat barely kept together tied up to it  
I long to just sit crossed legged fishing from it's edge  
Maybe I watched too many movies with swamps  
Maybe I played in too many muddy streams  
Spent so much time in nature that I want to drown in it  
My memories sewn all together to make a fantasy  
I close my eyes and I can see it all before me
