Nature's Beauty

You follow the grass-bare path
Along to a tranquil lake
At a kookaburras laugh
All of wondrous nature wakes

The lake’s silver tears
Will capture your mind
As daybreak nears
The moon is left behind

A great Wollemi pine
Looms over your head
Beside a Devil’s Twine
Splashed yellowy red

The sun begins to fall
Behind the range of Earth
While night is solemnly called
You know what Nature is truly worth
