By the cool, clear waters of the billabong,

where the willows dip their branches low,

we sit in quiet reflection,

listening to the symphony of nature.


The cicadas hum a relentless tune,

a chorus of life in the heat of day,

while dragonflies dance on the surface,

their wings catching the light.


In the shade of a eucalypt,

we find respite from the sun,

a moment of peace in the

embrace of the ancient, timeless bush.
