Many Feelings

Australia, a well known country
The rain forests are beautiful and green
The ocean is cool but dangerous
The desert is hot and sandy, it shows no mercy
I walk into the rain forest and lie on the smooth grass
Feel the warmth in the air
See the birds of all different colours fly over my head
And hear the sound of water pouring down from the water fall
I walk into the ocean, swim in the warm sea
Under the water I see fish of all different species and colours
Above the water I see dolphins jumping in front of me
I float on my back and look up, sea gulls fly through the air
I walk into the hot desert and feel the boiling sand
I lay on the sand and see eagles fly near the sun so very high
I can't breathe, the air is thin and hot
I love Australia for it is the country for me.
