The nautilus shell
Is mathematical perfection
The golden ratio
In constant action
For Nature is perfect
In her wild and cyclical ways
Timing things in sync
To support all species on our planet
Conservation of our oceans
Can make a lasting difference
If we'd only use our resources
To save ocean life from extinction
For the magic and miracles
That abounds in Nature
Is being decimated too quickly
For us to experience them in person
The nautilus shell
Remains mathematical perfection
May the Big Blue survive and thrive
Beyond all human interaction
