Once in the forest
Listen to its umpteen voices
The laughing Kookaburra
Or if you're so inclined
The lamenting chuffs
The repetitive cuckoo
Will follow your steps
Or you may prefer
The lashing of the whipping bird
Not to forget the ever present
Warbling of the magpie
You rarely see them
But they are there
Go in peace traveller
As long as you hear them
Beware when silence fills the air.
