Deep within my heart,
I hold a special secret.
Only those who listen close enough Are those who get to hear it.
It is in the wind
And the swish of the trees.
It is the pad of a fox’s foot
As he leaves.
It is the little swish of the tail
By a little black cat,
The rustle of the brush
As she finds a rat.
The crash of the ocean,
The hum of the bees,
Just the thought of it
Is enough to put you on your knees. What is my secret
You think and wonder?
The answer you seek
Can be found down under.
Listen close, my friend
To what you hear.
Find the secret in your own heart, Even if it seems queer.
Nature’s Secret
