I open my back door, glass sliding door, the fly screen is still closed
The smell of eucalyptus & gum trees come wafting in, surrounding me, & filling the house
I open the flatscreen & step outside, closing my eyes & breathing in deep through my nose
I can hear the trees moving with the wind, the kookaburras are having a great laugh
The cockatoos are there, sqwarking & eating any seeds or gum nuts they see
There is another, what is that call I can hear, I slowly open my eyes & look up
The rainbow lorikeet is soaring above, there must be 6 all flying around
The peace I feel within, from the smell, the sounds, & the nature all around
Nothing can replace this kind of peace,
It’s the peace of knowing you are home, within the great outdoors.
