In a special lake,

secret, peaceful, never disturbed, filled with endemic life.  

Frogs sunbake on flowering lily pads, soaking up golden rays of sun.

Fish dive into the murky depths, darting daringly above the gooey mud 

that lies untouched below the lake.

Trees sway smoothly, waving their flimsy limbs in time with the breeze’s music,

While dragonflies dance, just above the pond's still water,

teasing the fish below.

Blue Banded Bees buzz, examining the flowers that encircle the lake. 

Snakes slither silently, swimming gracefully in the cool water,

rippling its calm surface.

Tawny frogmouths sit frozen in a tree, watching fearfully as the day goes on.

In a special lake,

secret, peaceful, never disturbed, filled with endemic life.
