Embrace of the Earth

In the quiet woods where wildflowers sway,
I find my peace, far from the fray.
Sunlight dances through leaves, a golden embrace,
nature wraps around me, filling the space.

The kookaburra’s laughter rings clear and bright,
a melody that sparkles, like rain in the light.
By sparkling rivers, with stories to share,
I listen to whispers, the earth’s gentle care.

Yet beneath this beauty, a shadow draws near,
the precious Leadbeater’s possum, a creature held dear.
With eyes like bright lanterns in the cool evening air,
it hides in the treetops, a treasure so rare.

Let’s honour this land that nurtures our hearts,
protecting the fragile, playing our parts.
For every lost heartbeat, a piece of us fades,
together we’ll rise, as nature invades.
