Blue Mountains

Small tufts of kangaroo grass sway in the wind,

The sharp calls of whip birds break the peaceful silence,

Clear freshwater flows through valleys,

A haven guarded by majestic sandstone cliffs.

Shards of golden light filter through the trees,

The setting sun basks the valley with caramel brightness,

Eucalyptus trees stand tall and proud,

A treasure chest revealed.

Brilliant stars shine on a tranquil sea of leaves,

A radiant moon rises on the horizon illuminating the darkness

Possums climb, echidnas crawl, bats fly, kangaroos hop,

 A new world discovered.

A bright new sun colours the sky red and pink,

Birds sing as they awake for a new day,

Once again, the grass and trees sway,

A valley basked in blue.
