I'm a stripy numbat,

a black and white zebra, 

a little mouse roaming around Earth.

Smelling the lush tree scent with my little nose.

Digging for termites to eat.

Climbing up the trees, scoping out the area.

 

In the dark, mulga woodlands gaze over me.

The Golden sun whistles through tiny cracks in the trees.

Brown hollow trees allowing sun rays to fly through the little cracks. 

 

Running and running, will it ever stop?

Foxes and cats are always trying to locate me.

Never will I see another one of me.

 

I don't mean any harm, I just want to be friendly.

Will this be my last, is this already the dark?

Can someone help me? I need some light!
