Heartbeats pulsating: strangled terrified sighs
Feverish fear clouding: darting eyes
Destruction as dark as the devil at night
Elephants massacred: a soul-destroying sight
Moonbeams hang motionless: air thick with greed
Men butchering elephants without conscience or creed
Listen quietly and hear their cries
Elephants on a spiritual journey: no time for goodbyes
Traumatized survivors and African grey ghosts
Russet trees bow down and branches surmise
Haunting winds whistle under angry silent skies
Caregivers’ supreme of this vanishing race
Assuring survival of orphans in this sun drenched place
Elephant calves: twitching trunks lifted high
Reaching for happiness under a golden sky
Mini-Matriarchs emerging: deep rumbles embrace
Trunks entwining: harmony and grace
Elephants, the source of great wisdom and emotion
Ambassadors of the wild: harmony in motion
Survival of this species is our goal
Our threads in life entwined: reflections of our souls
Fighting against corruption: the fire: big bang
Evolution’s slow magic in tranquility will hang
The limitless azure heaven as wide as it is high
A rainbow like a promise arcs across the sky
Mother Nature’s chimes: peaceful sigh
