In the hush of the midnight dance

 The bush dreams, the moon is pale

Where bush dirt and shadows blend

A dunnart scurries through the night

 A speck of life where night winds curve

 

Tiny creature emerges in the moonlight

Immense black eyes, light soft fur

The bush leaves slur a lullaby

 

Dunnart looks for prey

Moving with grace, a silent dance

The bush holds its breath

A ballet of the wild

 

As the sun rises

The world waits for the morning's grace

The horizon blushes softly,

Murmur of light awakening the dark
