Won't Be There Forever

I want to see the places that are there but won't be forever. The beautiful that's getting destroyed.

I'd like to visit the forest.

Look up through the branches

at the bright shards of sky.

Hike along a overgrown path

in search of adventure.

I'd like to visit the reef.

Hold my breath as if

it's the last one I'll take.

See the coral's colour bleed

and the fish soak it up.

I'd like to visit the delta.

Glide over its rivers

in a boat made of culture.

Go back to the place

where I came from.

I'd like to visit the rock.

Take in the red

and breathe in the dust.

Watch it all from

a balloon in the sky.

Author's Note

This is for an Air Canada contest. If I win I get free tickets to wherever I want if A.C flies there. I want to go to Sydney. So help me make it better!!! :)

And lol because my title is saying Australia won't be there forever. Which may be true but you know.
