Poem: "Eerie Water"

1/27/10

I move slowly through the water
that pulls at my feet
making me mor tired

I have nowhere to go
the water is everywhere
I am walking just to stay alive

Is help on the way
or will the murky, brown water take care of me
washing me away

The smell is horrid
as I pass each of the 10 houses in my neighborhood
wondering if I am the only one alive

All I can do is pray
and hope
and beleive I can survive
