Mother Nature

Leaves, still wet with dew, brush
my legs as I walk slowly down the path.
Wind blows, making trees sway.
Small insects buzz around annoying us.
Tiny ants scurry away gathering food.
Juicy berries hang from trees, waiting
to be picked. Water bottles are nearly 
empty. We fill them up at mini waterfalls.
This water is fresh and cold and it cools 
us down. We go on family hikes and kayak 
trips in summer. Sometimes we stay overnight
in cosy tents. In spring all of the flowers open.
Fruit starts to grow, blossoming from bright 
pink flowers. Possums creep around at night 
making little noises. Joeys hop and jump.
Colours enter the sky. Bright pink
and orange make up the sunrise today,
lighting up the world. The air is cold and
sends chills down my body
when I step outside.
