Ode to a Lost Swamp
by Talla Toadington
In the forgotten depths of a bygone time,
Where whispers linger and memories chime,
I mourn for a swamp, now lost and forlorn,
Where I, a toad, was once reborn.
Oh, the beauty that once adorned its grace,
A tranquil haven, a sacred space,
Where lily pads floated in emerald hue,
And sunlight danced upon waters so true.
But now, the swamp lies abandoned and still,
Its spirit silenced, a void to fill,
The reeds stand lonely, their whispers ceased,
A requiem plays for the serenity deceased.
No more do dragonflies flutter and dart,
No more do frogs serenade from the heart,
The chorus of life has faded away,
Leaving a void, a somber display.
I reminisce of those balmy nights,
Where fireflies flickered like distant lights,
Their luminescence, a mystical guide,
In a symphony of life, side by side.
The moonlit trails, where shadows would dance,
The rustle of leaves in a nocturnal trance,
Echoes of creatures, their nocturne embrace,
Now swallowed by silence, a desolate space.
Oh, lost swamp, your memory I keep,
In the depths of my soul, where echoes seep,
Though you've faded, like a forgotten dream,
Your essence lingers, a flickering gleam.
I, a toad, bear witness to your demise,
With tearful eyes and mournful cries,
But in my heart, your legacy remains,
A testament to the beauty that once reigned.
So, I sing this ode to the lost swamp's plight,
In hopes that one day, it'll be brought to light,
That nature's respite may once again thrive,
And the swamp's spirit, forever revive.
For in this lament, a plea I express,
To honor and cherish this watery caress,
May the lost swamp find solace and peace,
As its story echoes, refusing to cease.
