Sheer Joy

Lush, verdant forest
layers of green
whisper softly
in the rustling morning breeze.

Cool air kisses
and the soft glow of morning light
touches with softest gold
the ferns and fallen logs
grass trees and gums…

I breathe deeply
and the freshness fills me
and then above, the kookaburra couple
giggles and jiggles
with the sheer joy of morning.
Sheer joy…
