Floating forest

As I walk through the forest I feel like I'm floating while crunching
Leaves crunch beneath my feet like a branch just broke from a eucalyptus tree
Meanwhile, vibrations of cockatoos cackling hit my spine
With colourful flowers growing from moist dirt like a rainbow hitting the ground
As I move forward, smooth and lumpy rocks hit my toes
As I close my eyes, slowly I move towards a billabong with tiny tadpoles, as small as seeds
With platypuses sliding in the clear sparkling water while sleepy koalas
Lazily wake up next to a spiky bird nest.
