Kingfisher Pool

Feel the water dancing at your toes
The warm breeze pulling you forward
You dive under

Darkness consumes you
Under the water, it’s quiet, calm
The icy currents gently pulling you forward

Open your eyes 
There, in front of you
You see the true beauty of the lake
Home to millions of creatures

Knowing you can’t stay down here forever
You burst out
The cockatoos screech above 
Golden crests perching like crowns on their heads

Feeling the wind wash over you, 
You realise
This is home
This is where you belong
