Paw Print
Cafted in purity through the veins of the Serengeti
A writing based on a search for natural beauty
An enriched relaxer for the lion's mane and golden coat
Raindrops that burn black spots on an otherwise plain cat
Smudges of puddled ink for the springbok's leap
Drew a mustache over the baboon's pouting lips
As he mockingly attempts to improve on my mistakes
Across my face a reflection of satisfaction over the lake
Briefly, a plane expression of a perfect horizon
Momentarily, a paw print in wet ink through the killing zone
The ripples felt like aftershocks in the now overrun grooves
At the tip of the antelope's raised tail and twitch of hooves
The signature is complete with elephant mud sprays
And birdsong of fresh air's clear tunnel of new prays
Flipping earlobes at the sound of a mosquito's buzz
All is forgiven in this flowing balance of life's breeze
