Morse's Creek, Bright, Victoria, Australia

SUMMER

Singing brooks,
dancing along their way.
Shadowed meadows,
guarding song birds at play.

Gentle breezes,
waves in the grass.
Warm sunshine,
reflects like glass.

Trout in the shadows,
waiting for a meal.
Bugs buzzing,
nothing stands still.

Clouds above,
fluffy not dark.
Beavers grounded,
eating willow bark.

Butterflies chasing,
the next best flower.
Bees in pursuit,
more honey by the hour.

So was the land,
nature's intent.
Already beautiful,
no need to invent.

Look around,
smell the flowers.
Live each day,
we have only hours.

Be gentle,
with the land.
Beautiful nature,
she has the plan.

Summer dreams,
lazy day.
Summer night,
stars light the way.

Shadowed meadows,
lazy streams.
Song birds accompany,
life's summer dreams.
