They walked for a while down the path,
dipped into the stream to take a bath,
continued on to enjoy the scenic route,
seeing the new leaves begin to sprout,
some parts darker with covering plants,
making their sight more light enhance,
their minds feel a bliss perhaps from the sight,
or the oxygen is rich from the mountain height,
as they pass by the darkness ahead,
one reaches down to touch the blood red,
turning pale fingers drip of blood,
then it falls down to mix into the mud,
a panic overwhelms as they all look below,
seeing they all have some blood flow,
removing their items and seeing them all,
some just at the sight faint and fall,
they cover the skin so much it leaves no spaces,
so take salt with you when you go to these places.
