Life in the Forest

The smell of green life and fresh waving palms

The sun shining through the tall 

towering trunks 

in the warm summer breeze. 

I look into the glittering sky 

as the birds fly. 

I feel the wind blowing in my face, large branches swishing

from side to side.

I spy a Gouldian Finch, its feathers shimmering in the sunlight,

brighter than I've ever seen.

I smile from ear to ear with happiness. 

The Gouldian Finch darts away in a flash leaving behind the most precious feather in the world.
