[Bay for the reef]
Man made creation drifting
in the bay of Cairns
Once this place was not developed
for thousand years
Now people all over the world
come to visit
for seeking Coral reef
Blue sky and peaceful ocean welcome visitors
seeking for the creation of the earth
From the beginning of the life
the natural treasure existing on the earth
Why we are here?
The answer is generated
from the bottom of the reef
[Gift from tropical jungle]
Thousands of species sustaining their life
in the deep jungle like here
This is a gifted nature from the God
Everyone can appreciate
the meaning of the Genesis
in the tropical inhabitation
Creeping vines and Elk horn fern
look like symbol of natural balance
Decayed leaves are resources for the energy
of ants, microbes and natural creatures
Endless natural activities
that symbolized the tropical jungle
[Palm tree]
Looking over the tropical ocean
under the clouded sky in the mid-winter
Palm trees standing
on the bank of the beach-side
Look over the people taking a walk
from the early morning to the sun-set
Peaceful sky blows
accompanying a little chilly wind
That why we are here standing
and fulfilled with
a joy of uncountable memory
in our life
Palm trees know all about
[Giant Eucalyptus]
Sustaining this life so many years
on the bank of the beach-side
This gigantic tree of Eucalyptus shows off
as if she is a big boss of this beach
Only Koala depend their life
on this tree species
for thousand years
But only a few species can be accessed
Otherwise this tree is
toxic to other animals
The balance of the species
sustained their life forever
[Imaginational life]
Life was started here in the ocean
That’s why we feel it like our home
How the life started
How things survived
is a thing that many people concern
Evidence is that
numerous creatures are still existing
in the largest part of the earth
Ocean
Everything will be poured into here
an eventual goal of everything
Imagination can be built in many ways
But does not sustain so long
In the same manner as our foot prints
which will be washed away
by the voice of ocean
