In the bush

The river whooshes past me flowing in its current
As the leaves dance in the breeze
The grass is glistening in the sunlight
After the cold winter's night
All around me the wind is trying to fight
And the trees block out the sun's bright light.
The creek trickles down its path as
The kookaburras laugh their sweet song throughout the land
I twist and turn my feet in the sand.
I take a look at the golden wattle as
I take a drink out of my water bottle as
The water trickles down my throat
The frogs gloat about their beauty.
I look up at the blue sky between the gum trees
And then I look to my right and the colours are bright
Then I look to my left and the trees share the secrets they've kept.
