Game Reserve

As great river crosses the land On its beach there is sand On its banks zebras came to drink Wary of crocodiles that might drag them to water and sink At both banks ancient trees Stretch as far as eye sees They define this primordial land There are creatures here nowhere else found The Nunda mysterious huge grey cat To animals and humans is a serious threat But no specimen exists in any zoo This is only place to find it until it will do On the other side of the river mountains stand tall Like picture of wildernesses’ soul Their awe inspiring presence is As they stand surrounded by mist of aerial abyss The mist around the mountains is like a ghost As the fearsome Nunda terrorizes the coast Different feeling mountains give Like any prayer they are ready to receive When vortex of shadow king Opens as wild dogs sing This vortex is to everything What great temporal vortex to universe will bring The vortex grows in a dimensional shift Creating divine rift And if this is an ability The spiritual frame gives the ability But how long will this place exist Hidden by apparition like mist Will my small nephew hear of this land Or will it be swallowed by time like river is swallowed by sand
