A journey from above

lorikeets swoop and dip in the ocean above
circling the beautiful banksia below
the loud screeching of cockatoos can be heard for miles and miles
lorikeets soar away and start to circle a blooming grevillea that towers tall into the sky
as they go to fly on the raucous chok chok call of the wattle birds booms across the blue
the loriini glide through the skies once they look down they see the widespread eucalyptus
heard the melodic calls of the rosellas and they began to move on
they soar over the kangaroo paws and when they do they can hear the whistles of the honeyeaters and then the lorikeets shoot away
Far off in the distance as far as the loriini can see
lies a flowering gum tree
then near the gum they begin to hear, the faint squawks of their children
hearts burst with joy the moment they saw them once again
Home at last. Safe and sound
