A heart that knows
what mine yearns for
to be one with nature
to admire and savour
the essence of peace
the sweetness of bliss
took me out from fields of canes
into a world without chains

A piece of paradise lays hidden
'midst tropical rainforest laden
with pristine glistening pools,
soothing cascades and falls
twisting 'round boulders in full
nature's music played, never ending
melting my fears and cares, no more!

The lush this part of Queensland I adore
a total contrast to her dry yet humid shores
driving through glistening streams
I felt her beauty caressing our souls
her clear waters reflecting our joys
Into the wheel of fire we dipped
our souls renewed once more!
