Explosions of colour in the sky
Tearing up the atmosphere Soft clouds drift by, patching up the holes Deep down, soils turn, roots set deep Seeds grow, small then large, Thrusting green leaves and Coloured heads at the sun To feed with rays of gold Bees dart, landing softly, taking gently Leaving quickly, working their magic Tree branches blow Lackadaisically in the breeze Casting a million blossoms Into the sea where they cover the water Like a vast patchwork quilt Deep below, tiny fishes swim In and out the sea grasses Tummies tickled by anemones Sea horse fathers carry their young Soaring upon the heads of humpbacks Who heave their giant bodies momentarily Above the water and then crash hard upon The glassy surface, sending vibrations Through the entire ocean Sea spray spirals up into the air catching The underbelly of a duck as she flies Nonchalantly for thousands of miles Towards greener pastures Ducklings waddle in and out the reeds And marches, pecking here and there For baby snails and worms, to fatten and grow Their vulnerable warm bodies beneath The soft feathery disguise Mud flats shift and squelch under their Little webbed feet whilst water skaters And dragonflies hover around like fog Deep below the river is a platypus Dancing, twisting then Turning her lithe little torso, The cool currents propel her Up and under, up and under She flies with the currents, Spinning endlessly Eternally entertained by the Ways of the water Trees turn golden brown, ochre orange, fire engine red Dropping their crusty leaves upon the river surface Explosions of colour in the sky Soft dandelion tendrils float by, Carrying a thousand wishes. Silence. All is well in the world. All is very well.
