River of Happiness

Brown water

Trickling over rocks

Yellow dots in the distance

Scent of happiness, warmth

The place I want to be

Towering gum trees

Currawong chorus

Magpie melody

Stepping silently

The place I want to be

Cars in the distance

Petrol wafting in the air

Sirens screaming

Boeing overhead

The place I don’t want to be

But the river brings me back to nature

Calm

Quiet

Peaceful

And the place I want to be
