Irreplaceable

Sun beaming off water,
Dolphins leaping out in packs,
Inhaling salt wafts.
I peel back the overgrowth,
Encasing the lime green walls.
Were torrents streaming down and drizzling onto nearby rocks,
Hidden within were many waterfalls.
I hesitate before climbing up a nearby tree,
Attempting to reach a better view.
My hands clasp onto branches heaving myself up,
A strong gust of wind made leaves unscrew.
Leaves collided with my face,
Sending wafts of eucalypt up the channels of my nose.
In the stump of the tree,
A cacophony of noises arose.
A myriad of squeaks and grunts,
Emerged from within this sacred place.
The soft blend of feathers and dandelion,
Is what made this tree something to never replace.
