Even Elephants Dream

Mum and me 
Below the skies
Strolling by
Above birds fly

Two orbs 
Look down on us
Planetary worlds
Float without fuss

A tall tree
Lazily sways
As if to guide us
On our way

Distant clouds
Swirl around
Hold their charms
Without a sound

As we roam our lands
With no sight of man
Free from death
At the poachers hand

Only 1 suggestion....Free from death..at the proachers hand. Loved it. It was dreamy, peaceful the perfect meter for the concept & the simplicity was perfect. Light & Love

Love the Rhyme. I love elephants. They are so graceful to be such a large animal. You put it so elegantly. Sara

They dream of poachers, we dream of being unsuccessful, and many other life quirks.... Man, you always amaze your audience.....Great, James.....:JP)
