Kookaburra sitting
In the Jacaranda tree
Laughs his happy laugh
For all the world to see
Dog she stands below
And looks up to the sky
Wags her happy tail
Without all the wondering whys
The lizard pokes his head out
Looking for the sun
Tired of the dark
Light and lizard join as one
The wind blowing in the valley
Is powerful raging force
Yet when it hits the mountain
It bends and finds and different course
Lessons of the earth
Speak of power and of grace
But even great and wondrous things
Can move at a snail’s pace
The soul that sits inside us
Is a vast eternal being
It is gentle wise and generous
Patient and all-seeing.
The human that surrounds us
Is a blind man in the dark
Crying lost and helpless
It needs a light to spark the path
The animals and earth
They know the answers you will find
Use humour strength and happiness
To lift you up
And free your mind
XOM
