Day in the rain forest

The crystal river flowing,
Surrounded by the trees.
The water clear as glass,
You hear the birds and bees.
A canopy of gum trees,
Towering over everything.
If you listen closely,
You can hear galahs sing.
Marigolds colourful like a paint palette,
Each flower a different one,
Big, beautiful, blooming blossoms,
Dancing under the gleaming sun.
I sit beside the crystal river trying to relax,
My reflection is staring back at me.
As I throw pebbles in the water,
My feet come out of the clear, blue sea.
I lie down and drift off
Ever so slow,
The cool mist caresses my skin
While I watch ferns grow.
