Morning at Manum on the Murray

Morning on the Murray...

Ducks upon the still waters
Their calling echoes up to me
Galahs, crows and magpies singing
A dog barks through the tranquility
The ferry moves across the river
Beeping sounds come floating: free
I hear the docking sounds from here
Someone's using a hammer
Echoes fly all the way into my ears
Quack quack quack I hear them
As a bus comes down the road
More people arrive: ready to be unloaded
It's a peaceful morning here in Mannum
So many glorious sounds abound
I hear life echoing all around me
Serenity in all its forms: welcome me
Even a kookaburra singing in the trees
