The Elephant

A rumbling sound does strike the ground, beneath the heavens, The thundering finger tips of God, creeps across the earth itself. Creation's lightening, announces their arrival, behold the mighty Elephant bursting forth, grappling existence within it's ivory tusks. Bend do the mountains themselves, for sheer raw power's reverence. Divinity's creatures honored, by man and beast alike, nature's gray Phantoms of the wilderness wild. Roaring above even the king of beasts, whom offers royalty's Crown unto he, the true majesty of strength and dominance. Evolution's survivor, the living giant, Over coming all environmental changes, the earth has set Against it. A keystone species, beating extinction, move for move On the chest board of life, by evolving and adapting. Oh mother's hold thy babies most dear, closely, as she the Matriarch guards her calf, fission-fusion society, linked By bloods legacy. Never does the heart of an elephant forget heartaches loss, Yet mourning forever within the soft brown eyes of intelligence. Tenderly, shedding tears of regret's for-get-me-knots, but in Her soul she knows, one day mother and calf, shall be reunited, Beyond the elephant graveyard of stilled bones. Hatred’s madness, drives this instinctual season called musth, Alone rough is death's destructive shadow, seeking passion's Mate, no matter the cost in physical pain, instincts desire must Be appeased. Storm's living earthquakes, shakes the African plains underneath It's feet, the cradle of life itself is rocked, to it's innermost core. But it is beauty, whom can tame this beast, yielding unto destiny's Call of the wild heart, to breed, the need to leave their legacy, And continue the future of the species. A rumbling sound does strike the ground, beneath the heavens, The thundering finger tips of God, creeps across the earth itself. Creation's lightening announces their arrival, behold the mighty Elephant bursting forth, grappling existence within it's ivory tusks. Bend do the mountains themselves, for sheer raw powers reverence, Divinity's creatures honored by man and beast alike, nature's gray Phantoms of the wilderness wild. BY: CHERYL ANNA DUNN
