  G'day  

  myrtifolia  

The fire does not worry me
but I do not grow as tall as the rainforest,

so I exist between the fire forest
    and the ancient forest,  helping it to exist.

My new leaves are sensual and soft
earthy pinks and ochres
as the land I am on.

Crush my leaves, and like it or not,
my aroma soothes the senses.

I am lancewood, I am ironwood.
    I am strong.

  hidden   scents  

  velvety   release
