Footbridge In The Forest Poem by Marilyn Lott

It was just a simple footbridge
But I didn't know just where
It would lead me in the forest
Should I trust it? Did I dare?

It was a lovely summer day
At Mt. Rainier National Park
Something pulled me ahead
It was eerie, it was dark.

But, so beautiful and earthy
Oh, how I loved the smell
Voices beyond called me
Rather lonesome, I could tell.

But sometimes we must travel
To a place with a wisp of unrest
An unknown route just like
This footbridge in the forest.
