ODE TO ELEPHANT
[character.com/linecounter : 40 lines]
______________________
Earthy semblance of Blue-Green
Planet Deep !
full toned trumpet we salute
arising from afar through elixir fair forests
my ears dainty ornaments alert
your velvet ones eloped from captured parks
swaying human queries flap
breezes caressing trunk with hay
Matriarch of Mother Earth you enchant !
trampling trekking unencumbered across continent observing
corpulent babes engrossing
no king of jungle, though collateral archetype : Excelsior goddess enthroned emboldened
heart emancipated embroidered on mammoth
marches through ember days
Elephant cares embracing fays
elderberries quenching enrich your
beguiling navigation moves
through seasoned landscapes traversing
into dew grasslands unswerving
Awed are we !
how you encape my ennui to seek no encore, your grey wisdom enamours …
Age after age you accompanied humanity’s exploring self-hood quests ~
did HE dream ivory tusks
as elongated bangles or
carved knife handles
you timeless care not
treading Love’s deserts lost and found
while nectar filled cacti bitter stare
your strength jitters bare
Pines tall imbibe your wrinkled
twinkle grandma guru eyes
from heights of snow-capped mountains
once you crossed, Africa into Rome, to lowly circus dance for children ogling
how do I O D E an enduring birthing body
when humouring fanciful Fate ?
you dissolve destinies marula tree rooting
an eternal etching on my ebony forehead
C R E A T I O N’S V I C T O R Y !
our humility encapsulates what
E L E P H A N T V I B R A T E S
