The Forest Outside

Come with me to explore
the forest sitting outside our door,
the flowering vines, overgrown,
with moss that garnishes the stones.
I smell the scent of honey in the air,
the gentle breeze flowing through my hair.
I can hear the birds' sweet song
coming from the gum trees, so long.
High up there, the koala sits,
down on the ground, lizards in the slits.
Out here I feel free,
for this poem plants a tree.
Nature is so beautiful, don't you agree?
Why can't you see?
For the lives of the things that inhabit,
what wouldn't you do to save this planet?
