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