The Billabong

As the sun rises over the Billabong Life began to flow in the dawn of the morning Crocodiles snaps at its morning food Large fish swim for their lives Mosquitoes are in the millions Swarming all in your face Camp fires are lit all over the place People are preparing their morning breakfast Getting ready for their high pace trip Not a moment to waste tasting their food To begin to move with a healthy pace The Billabong gives up its water to every living to crunch their thirst The birds, the crocodile, the mosquitoes The people must drank to fill their thirst Not one moment wasted, they move at super pace The Billabong curbs and run at a fast pace Watering the land and sand And everything it can The drought is coming and thirst will begin Not one but all will taste its call.

Except for the mosquitoes, I might like to be there fixing breakfast by campfire! I like the scene you've painted here. The life force of the Billabong. Good poem.
