All is quite quiet out in the marsh. You hear the reeds brush against each other The quite chirp of insects And the slow movement of crocs in the water. Above it all, you hear is your heartbeat. In your ears Throughout your body the thrumming Bump-bump of your heart as you guide the boat along the waters surface. The slightest brush of the paddle Disturbing the tranquil silence ever so often. You fall into serenity With the deafening whispers of nature surrounding you.
