Australian Rock Pools

The rough, gentle touch that connects all of us,
One dive of the fresh, salty, Australian water traps you and makes you want to never get out.
I slowly swim through the magical marine life,
Seeing fishy friends and orange octopuses.
If this isn’t heaven, I don’t know what is.
I explore further than ‘splash kaboom’ my sister is in.
On the saddest days it can make you have the biggest smile,
I go under the water and hear the fairies dancing on top.
My connection is so dearly strong to the land,
Mermaid or not I love the salty touch,
Water baby through my veins.
My happy place where I go,
Everyone and any one is welcome,
To come feel this new and amazing feeling.
Sunshine, love, country, what more do I need.
