Silver Bear

Walk
through the gum tree canopy.
Munch
Listen
to the koalas devouring the green leaves.
Feel
the smooth silky gumtree against your back.
The sky is a baby blue with clouds nowhere to be seen
The air is a whistling wind but then it is still,
calm.
Silver koalas like the pearls of a tree
Pink flowers and green leaves are the colour of home
to me.
Fire season is here, gum trees start to disappear
Grey night turns to black
these brave warriors have to fight back.
