The Truth Behind Nature

Beautiful, bubbling bottlebrush 

lightly dancing in the wind

softly as a new life begins.

Trees are such mysterious things

swaying as a breeze comes by

observing everything

keeping all the Earth's secrets

why oh why

you always try to give us shelter

as you stand here today, as the most important elder.

Gumtrees, the Holy Mother

yet in the beastly bushfires they had to suffer

always caring for Koalas.

"Crash!" Goes the waves

being as free as a bird sitting in its tree.

All the trees, bushes and nature are a protector, a teacher, a home for all animals that live there.
