The Platypus

The calm soothing water,

the tall trees whispering in the wind,

the lustrous moon above the treetops.

The sleek Platypus zipped through the lily pads,

diving and swimming through the aquatic life.

Quicker than a blink of the eye.

She can feel the glow of the sunrise warming her beak. The sky as shallow as the pond,

the clouds drifting in the wind.

The rocks like ice,

she can close her eyes and feel her body drifting in the water.
