Yarra Ranges National Park

Vast thick leaves catch raindrops drip drip.
The calm waves scratch at the shore makes me want to skip.
Ancient trees tower over.
I'm as lucky as a four leaf clover.
In the strong arms of Yarra Ranges.
Like you know it isn't worth any exchanges.
A buzz of a chainsaw
Makes anyone want to withdraw
Trees groan
There ancient bark moan
Bang, crash was this planned?
If only the forest could expand
That could save our beloved land
Wind whispers in my ear
This won’t be our final year
For if we are going down ever
We will be remembered forever.
