Dance of the Buffalo

In a canvas alive with whispers of green and blue/
 A giant buffalo stands, proud, bold, with majesty pride/
Its horns, like arching galaxies reach for the sky/
The buffalo stands, proud, bold, a spirit true  in hues that electrify the vibrant African plans long and wide/
  Against the vibrant tapestry he commands your  sight, a symbol of strength, a guardian of the night/
 With every stroke of color, the heartbeat of the wild, a masterpiece of nature, untamed and undefiled/
 Two black birds, guardians, perch near its might, they dance on the buffalo, in the soft morning light, Contrasting silhouettes, sharp against the hue, they whisper stories of the earth, in the vast African blue/ 
 For in this vivid moment, in this sacred space, lives the spirit of the buffalo,  his the freedom we embrace/
  In the dance of the buffalo, where nature's voice resounds/ African history must be recognized as the birthplace of all humankind/
