Footprints Of Hope
Handfuls of sunshine like a halo around the globe
Footprints of hope: wearing compassion’s robe
In swirling magic beneath a veiled sun
Delicate clouds of harmony: a new era has begun
The trees a silent witness: the wind whistles a prayer
The hush of evening fills the air
Midnight’s cloak cooled down by stars shining bright
The hoarse cough of a leopard echoes through the night
Rumbles from the giants drifts through the trees
Fragmenting moonbeams peek and tease
When the east is aglow in scarlet and gold
A land full of giants, a spectacle to behold
A tranquil chorus of birds and a fish eagle soaring
Warmth spreading like sunshine on this sun kissed morning
Billowing clouds like towers of hope
A gentle cleansing rain like liquid soap
Rhinos, kudu and hippos galore
This timeless land offers it all
Majestic elephants: powerful, compassionate and tender
Fold upon fold of wisdom and splendour
Thick muscled trunks and Africa shaped ears
Journeying together and bonding through the years
The heart beat of Africa throbs beneath their feet
Footprints of hope: where land and elephant meet
African bush and elephants entwined by a spiritual hand
A rugged beauty shared: both splendid and grand
Measuring our civilized behaviour by the depth of our compassion
‘Fields of hope’ blessed with riches and passion
This is beautiful….it does fill me with hope!!!!!!! Lets keep fighting! Xxxxx
Beautiful! Will never give up on our rhinos and elephants! They need us.
That’s awesome, I’ve recently started to write some poetry , reading that has given me a bit more inspiration .
Amazing words of inspiration…..
Another poem – beautifully written. Keep up the good work.
If 10% of the worlds population was as committed as Jenny to the plight of the Elephants & Rhino there will be a heritage for our grandchildren’s children to cherish. A fantastic poem and thank you for the amazing stuff that you do.
