Quicksand

Walking, talking, moving forward
Something catches your eye
You stop to take a picture because thats a thing
Then you start to sing
Forgetting that once you were moving ever so forward

Quicksand set in, and you didn't notice
You were busy being distracted
Singing and clicking away
Soon half your body is buried alive
It is almost up to your shoulders

You've lost your focus and your phone
You even start to cry
Wiggling and struggling to break free
But it only makes you sink faster and faster
Quickly you remember to pray

You pray for forgiveness for being distracted
You ask for assistance in this scary mess that you are stuck
A warm hand appears from the light and pulls you out of the muck

Once free the hand disappears but you will always remember
The help that appeared when you asked 
You will always remember to keep moving forward
Singing is okay, but you must not stop on quicksand
Even when the view is photo worthy.
