They stumbled upon a pool
A dead pool, stagnant.
Striving to breathe,
Bereft of the elixir of life.
Cascading stream fell silent
The day avarice ate the woods
Paths around it closed in support
Rocks reiterate man’s ruse.
Stranded near a watery grave,
With parched throats
They wait, wondering
Is there a way out of this wilderness?
How did they stray so far?
Edges extending to eternity
The ceaseless drift of nature
Reinforcing her mystic hold.
The only way out – walk slowly
Listen to vibes of Mother Nature
Her whispers are best mentors
She knows how to forgive.
