The Gouldian Finch

The Gouldian Finch soars elegantly across the vast, blue sky,
deeply desiring the cosy, tranquil hollow of a welcoming tree,
as I watch silently, clasping my trustworthy binoculars.
The beautiful bird's feathers were nature's gift,
painting a rainbow across the blank, barren sky as it glides effortlessly.
The Gouldian Finch nestles cosily into the comfort of its home,
built by nature from a hollow-bearing tree, as my heart bursts with joy.
The dewy grass carpeting the floor rustles vaguely under my boots,
and a breath of refreshing air reaches my nose,
and recovers me from the irresistable urge to scream in excitement.
