This poem is dedicated to the amazing work that Rory Young is doing in training the men on the ground. His work fills me with hope for the future of these giants and the other wildlife that share the Continent

Elephant Prayer
Africa, a land of sun burnt dreams
Endless heavens and frolicking streams
Trees boastful in their russet splendour
Afternoon melodies drifting: soft and tender
Spiders webs like fine lace flutters in the breeze
Whispers of life caught between two trees
Bronzed African giants at peace as in silence they tread
Africa’s horizon weaving its evening magic: a golden thread
Ancient beings: compassionate and tender
Creamy ivories their downfall: greed they do engender
Wrinkled rumps rolling: rich steamy scents fill the air
Majestic elephants: trunks raised in silent prayer
An orchestra of nightlife seduces the fading light
Moon spills gently caressing the night
Hope hangs: a symphony of survival
A night time of prayers bows to dawns arrival
Out of the night and into the sun they tread
A footprint of hope as goodwill spreads
Large hearts beating: Africa shaped ears
Journeying together and bonding through the years
Warmth spreading like sunshine over the tranquil land
Celebrating their presence so powerful and grand
On this vast wild continent: for peace I pray
A rainbow like a promise welcomes the day

Absolutely beautiful and full of hope! Xxx
Thankful that someone Care’s about one of Gods greatest creations. Bless you.
Words so aptly said, for some the trurh to dread. For us the elephants must live without refrain, forever a sign in their African domain.
Lovely.
Made me cry again Jenny. That is a beautiful prayer????
A wonderful poem, and am so impressed with the work that is being done to try and protect the elephants. They have just as much right to live in peace in this world, and everything should be done to protect them and in fact all African wildlife.
