Under the Water
By Zoe G
The water was cold yet inviting, encapsulating me with a warm embrace
My lungs swelled like a tree frog filled large with rich Australian air
Fish darted, startled by my uninvited presence, their scales gleamed like silver as shiny as a pearl
Such rhythmic swimming would make anyone at ease
My eyes set upon a deserted yet joyous yabby,
Its nest barren and dry nestled among the dirt banks, the water slowly encroaching
The muffled songs of birds harmoniously sang above the water, softly coming to a stop
Getting out, a final glimpse of the crystal water snatched my eyes
Its beauty unmatched and its power unrivalled, simply left to stir elegantly for the rest of time
