Black storm clouds erupt
Plum towers in the sky
Blustering winds shriek
Branches whipping up high
Big and Powerful
Excited and aggressive
The bull in musth
Determined and impressive
Using his trunk
He caresses her back gently
Temporal glands flowing
Excitement pulsing a plenty
Rumbles of thunder, growl in the distance
The elephant cow in oestrus
Accepts the bull without resistance
Lightening flashes fluorescent
lighting up the sky
Thunder roars restlessly
Matching the look in the elephant bull’s eye
Mating in untamed splendour
On nature’s grandest stage
Two elephants surrender
And to the dance of life
They engage
The storm slides past
A horizon stitched in gold
Soon germination of luscious green shoots
Rich, juicy and bold
The female elephant cow
Content and replete
The miracle of new life
In her complete
