North,
The rustling leaves filled my ears.
Birds chirp in the distance,
Gum tree shedding its bark, it has been for years.
Green, bright, peaceful.
East,
The main attraction, a single tree.
With glistening, bark, it truly is a wonder,
Sitting below it, you can truly be free.
Green, bright, peaceful.
South,
I spy a bird swooping through the sky.
Grass underfoot crunches,
You’ll see a lake if you fly.
Green, bright, peaceful.
West,
Jacaranda, maple, banksia, bottlebrush, wattle is what I see.
Looking over the deep green leaves,
Is an endless bright blue sky that goes on for eternity, as we all agree.
Nature is green, bright and peaceful.
