The Wooded Hills Above Apollo Bay

A place that is close to Earthly Utopia the wooded hills above Apollo Bay
In the coastal breeze the tall gum trees are soughing like dancers to music their branches move and sway
Where all year round the wood birds chirp and whistle how lovely on a sunlit day in Spring
To sit on a park bench near to where a creek is babbling and enjoy the peace Nature to the mind does bring
No not for me where humans are competing for fame and wealth and material success
I love to be alone with Mother Nature as it gives me a sense of inner peace and happiness
The big towns and cities of human created noise and pollution not good for health of body or of mind
I do like being alone with Mother Nature perhaps i am one of the loner kind
In the park by the creek surrounded by tall gum trees in the wooded hills above Apollo Bay
On a breezy and sunlit Sunday in late October it is indeed a beautiful Spring day
Were i a poet i would write of this natural beauty wherever i turn to look that does meet my eyes
That where humans are few Nature is at her healthiest this is something i have come to realize
One is not far from Earthly Utopia on the wooded hills above Apollo Bay
I have seldom witnessed a scene of such beauty a memory with me that is bound to stay.
