It is the song of the bird,
the kiss of the breeze,
the canopy of trees
that sets my mind at ease.

It is the roar of the ocean,
the rustling of the leaves,
the hug of solitude
gives me all I need.

It is the glow of the fireflies,
the dust dancing in the sunrise,
The beat of the woodpecker
brings the joy to my eyes.

It is the peace of the morning,
roaming around without a care,
inhaling clean forest air
that sets my soul a light.
