Lake Illawarra
By Luca D
The mindful
Calm
Cool
Water
As I sit against the lake
The scent of sap
Dripping
Slowly
Off the trees
Gold tones hit my face
The grass in between my feet is the softest of silk
Sweet baby birds chirp nearby
Ready for their food
I watch the sunset unfold
The possums scatter as they see me
Above, in the sky, the world is peaceful
As the sun falls asleep
