Marsh lands badlands
Where life won't grow
Just miles and miles of
Emptiness to show
I am a denizen
Of one such wonderland
For I am a water lily
Try catch me, if you can
I grow and thrive
In such marshy miles
The closer you come
The further I glide
All by myself
I explore all the shores
I bloom in the moonshine
Sun is too harsh
For me to be lured
