The smooth, soft crackle of twigs from large feet
Closer and closer wheezing, gasping increase
Trumpeting, rumbling, crunching sound so neat
In the jungle, mighty jungle can't rest in peace
Whirr of wings at daybreak, as lions give a roar
They wait by the water as thirst draws all
Doves break the silence, as gazelles splash ashore
All species come snorting, to nature's call
Wind, swirling, train whistle resounding wind
Sweeps across the Savannah's smooth plain
Picks up those sleeping, transports round the bend
Gently drops with a thud sleeping one in pain
Dreams whether peaceful or wild are filtered
Sweeping clean our brains so won't be off kilter
