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.
