A large drop of sun lingers: lazy in it’s goodbyes
A warm breath caresses under the African sky
A galaxy of stars shimmer: a breathtaking sight
Acoustical wings like gossamer lace: crickets serenading the night
Slipping through the shadows: slithering through the trees
Whispers of nocturnal life romancing the mellow breeze
Africa’s night: seductive, sticky and dark
A gentle humming of mosquitoes: a zebra’s warning bark
Buffaloes poised: lion’s tawny eyes seeking battle
A buffalo breaks rank: fearsome growls and suffocating death rattle
The half moon rises: ghosting through the night
Survival of the fittest: the power of might
Whoop whoop of the hyena slices into the shadows
Seductive glow of the river as she undulates and flows
Trunks raised in silent prayer, elephants turn east and face the dawn
An echo of harmony in the fresh golden morn
Elephants full of unwavering honesty amble out and into the light
Impala and water buck poised for flight
Elephants at peace: in silence they tread
Weaving their magic: a golden thread
The pulse of Africa beats strong beneath their feet
Power of giants where Continent and elephants meet
Magical ivories held captive: illuminated in the sunlight
Creamy rich treasures: cause of the elephant’s plight
Russet leaves adorn the sun kissed trees
Reflections dancing on the river swirling with ease
Wisps of clouds like gauzy curtains drawn across the sky
The fresh sweet decay of buffalo dung: squadrons of flies
Elephants the essence of this harsh and timeless land
Whirlwinds of destruction: death by the human hand
Africa’s sun: a fiery promise to each bright new day
In this land of constant movement: for peace, I pray
