Splashing turgid waters Kicking hard to stay afloat Sinking, gasping and then coming up Coughing, spluttering, laughing I remember
The muddy waters in a river full spate Foaming when it hits the rock-face Bubbling as it swirls and twirls Frolicking briskly ahead I remember
Proud silver oaks, ramrod straight Row after row, in perfect lines Plump jackfruit jostling for space Squat coffee bushes pruned perfectly round I remember
The air so clean, biting cold Wisps of mist clouding my view Shades of green all around Dewdrops on leafs quivering I remember
Moist earth laden with leaves Squishy as I tread gently Mushrooms wild on rotten tree trunks Grabbing some space from lichen around I remember
Orchids so rare blooming when they please Unseen, unknown to man's prying eyes Clusters of bamboo leaning over the edge Looking at the river as it flows carelessly below I remember
Lying down on the soft green grass Looking at the changing sky Travelling clouds so busy and driven They keep on moving, as though they must I remember
Gentle breeze ruffling my hair Blades of grass, bending softly below Rays of sun playfully shines Through rustling leaves caressed by breeze I remember
I close my eyes and breathe deeply in The fragrance of nature as I know it So tender and nice, my resting place It's mine, forever I remember
