Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Shining In The Midst of Glory

This is such a glorious picture
full of the glowing, amazing light
it stops you in your forward track
grips you by its stunning sight

Here is Africa, so magnificent
its views just speak not in word
but full of glory so abundantly
one's heart is forever stirred

Behind the animals so splendid
the sunset shines in full glow
its light is so piercing, like a needle
holds you like forever, so very slow

The land where you stand upon
such dryness with little life
full of hope and anticipation
seeks to overcome all the strife

Let's look again at every inch
from the bottom to the top
there we have the Great Savanna
our view, we just don't want to stop

(This is based on the painting 'African Sunset over the Savanna contest' )
