I sit still, trying to count the animals running past.

The animals are so fast. Trying to get away from the people. All I see are bright colours from the different surroundings.

 

I see deer prancing.

In the river I spot fish swimming through the current.

In the distance I see foxes digging,

Possums and birds running along the branch.

“Why have I come?" I ask.

“Why do you think you followed your own steps?”

 

I can hear the rustling of possums on the branch.

I can feel the soft fur of a koala and the shaggy feathers of a bird.

I stand still trying not to make a sound as I watch the animals prancing, eating and lying down.

 

I make my way back home, I hear birds singing their last song before bed. Then flying to their nest.

 

I see deer running into the forest, going to their home, waiting for night to roll over.

I sit still, trying to count the animals running past.

The animals are so fast. Trying to get away from the people. All I see are bright colours from the different surroundings.
