Nature's Force

Feed off the sun’s bright rays, full of uplifting energy

Watch, as the ashburnt poppies sway so gracefully

Listen to the howling of the gale-force winds 

Smell the perfume of the pollen, as it floats past

Taste the bitterness of the wattle in the air. 

Taste the salt in the air, as it emerges from the sea

Smell the fresh air that hits you as you enter

Listen, to the secrets the ocean holds 

Feel the tugging of the current

Watch the sea life through the waves. 

Taste the dry air, as it punctures your lungs

Feel the red sand sift through your fingers 

Watch, as the heat affects the land 

Smell the dust as it settles on all in its path

Listen to the silent scuttle of a mouse, returning home. 

Watch the stars as they reveal themselves, from the blanket of black

Listen to the faint chirping of the crickets 

Feel the cool breeze rush through you 

Taste the dampness, as the sun descends 

Smell the strong smoke from a nearby fire.
