Can You Hear the Birds Today

Can You Hear the Birds Today

(Tune of "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" by Elton John)

In my restless moments,

Of worry and care

I seek out my lovely planet.

I try to be aware.

 

I sit outside to rest.

I breath refreshing air.

It’s enough to help me be at ease.

It feels just like a prayer.

 

Can you hear the birds today?

Hear the eagle’s cry.

The raptor’s call is calling out to me

“See leaves against the sky.”

 

Will you walk beneath the boughs?

In the cool moist air.

When you feel gentle breeze blowing by

On your skin so bare.

 

The four seasons come and go

Moving at a creep.

I know that the winter’s snow

Puts the world to sleep.

 

The spring will come in season.

To the wild outdoors.

The summer sun brings much abundant growth.

The fall produce is stored.

 

Can you sense the earth’s cycles?

Time’s endless spiral.

This blue-green world of oceans full of life.

In a great circle.

 

Smell the pine trees on the hill.

See the sun shine in.

The muskiness of scattered needles around

I am truly in bliss.

 

It’s enough to calm me and rebound

And feel my very best.
