fire,
Houses built with love and thought gone in seconds. Poof!
Koalas who have lived in a territory for generations running
to gulp air
to find water
but alas many die any way
Trees gone. Grass blackened. Earth crying. Australia disappearing.
Hopelessness felt around the world, as we watch the inferno
Taking lives
Taking homes
Taking safety and freedom
Kangaroos and koalas falling by the thousands never to get up
Destruction devouring Australia
Destruction of houses
Destruction of millions of animals
Devastating destruction
Everything disappearing in an apocalyptic inferno.
Climate change nightmare
Climate change reality
Pray for Australia

cute love,
Animal antics
Lazy Koalas for hours on trees would rest
patience of crazy people is put to test,
Open eyes, chew some eucalyptus leaves
then climb furthermore for a sound sleep,
Cute teddy bears, their grey furs grace,
blessed be to embrace their slug and laze!

cooling tang
upon my palate-
eucalyptus leaves
sleep comes-
a one-track mind’s
exhausting
nature’s way
is the best-

celebration, devotion,
There’s a place in my heart
Where the sun plays its part
And the kookaburras sings
To greet a sunrise that brings
Another beautiful day by
The great southern sky
So when the day is finally done
And the darkness has won
The pastels herald the chandelier above
Heralding the Southern Cross that we love
And from the cool of the evening air
The koalas emus and roos emerge there.
