Reach to the Sky

Trees reaching up to the sky,

all animals from deer to fly.

One breath in, 

walking forward the journey will now begin.

Birds whistling in the canopy, 

just walking into the forest is my fantasy.

All in your sight is green, 

the forest is my queen. 

Leaves rustling in the breeze,

everything breathes, even the old trees. 

Regrowth sprouting out of a trunk

the rain waters trees with one dunk.

Koalas with their fluffy hair,

but after the fire their skin is bare.

All on the ground is black,

charcoal piled in a stack.

All trees laying on the ground,

fire crackling is the only sound.

After the fire everything is shy,

trees trying to reach to the sky.
