AMBASSADORS OF THE BUSH

river sunset

Snaking river reflects a crimson evening sky

Ripples of water briefly fractured

Zambezi gushing by

Star light and mystery

Hang motionless and warm

Echo of  harmony from the elephants

Nature’s perfect life forms

Footprints

Shadowy moonlight casts a silvery glow

Embracing gently and illuminating

An enchanting scene below

Drowsy serenity: elephants eating their fill

Small calves slumbering

Bewitched by moonlit goodwill

Footprints

Slowly the night shadows fade

Dawn emerges, veined with gold braid

Sunshine slips softly through the canopy of trees

Elephant rumbles carry: melodious on the breeze

The valley’s morning breath: sweet and warm

Whispers of optimism in the early morn

Elephants moving lightly with a mystical flow

Auras reflecting a soulful glow

Footprints

Joy and warmth surrounds them, Africa’s gentle giants

Help to save our elephants

Act with compliance

Say no to ivory

Respect the ivory ban

Tusks belong to elephants

Elephants belong on the land

One thought on “AMBASSADORS OF THE BUSH

  1. This is such a beautiful poem! Your words are incredible and make me yearn for the African soil and the hot sweet scent of the Zambezi valley! Elephants do belong on the land – and I hope I can take my children and their children to visit and see them in all their awesomeness in the wild! I loved it!
