the smell of eucalypt fills the air
never before have i been so aware
filling my lungs and soothing my soul
a calmness blankets me and makes me whole

the intensity is quite unique
memories flood in until they peak
how many times has that scent procured
a reaction only to the one i endured

my nose a prostitute for many a smell
plenty of such would send me to hell
but here in this valley is the beauty of life
overwhelming me without any strife

i ponder from ......where it came
never worrying .....just the same
for there standing tall in a line
somebody's effort growing fine

a line of eucalypts growing tall
all blossoming as i can recall
magic bees doing there thing
amongst all the other trees that sing

this is truly a lovely sight
my smell engrossed with all it's might
i feel apart of earth's core
appreciation of nature i truly adore ......
