Put it all aside

The universe is whispering and she is calling out to all
She's inviting us to discover her mysteries great and small
In the great and mighty forest or in the golden leaves that fall
She's leaving her simple lessons; can you hear her gently call?

The early birds are singing now and the squirrels are at their play:
They have so much to tell us and  so much we can take away
We have only to watch their movements and how they pass their day
The universe is inviting us to come  for an extended stay.

Will we ever take those moments to explore our world outside?
Will we let the sound of her echoing,  transform our world inside
Will we calm our paces down enough and take a healing stride
I hear a gentle whispering voice it's saying,  "put it all aside."
