Elephant in the Sun I believe… She is truly, a fairy in disguise Like a tiny house mouse Full of wonder and wise Just look at those ears! Such wings of surprise No doubt, they carry her Aloft, far and wide To land in the treetops Where she so often will hide What would you call her, This fairy-elephant, elephant-fairy Fairest Fairiphant or Sweet Ellie-airy Well, as it happened to pass I was out looking for one A wee mighty lass. Along I went, Bumping and bouncing Down the dirt road Where the safari itself Is one’s real abode. My search started early With the sun in the East Blinding my eyes, Raged the heavenly beast, Til the clouds pulled close Their blanket of gray So grateful I was For their softening the way. Up went my aviators To the top of my head And on with my journey Yet hours… til bed. On and on, Jeep and I wrangled When all at once my hair Became unruly and tangled. My glasses had flown In the wind and the dust Why oh why, had I Dared so to trust Gone, oh so gone Forever they must Left alone, all alone In the infinite endless …horizon of rust. Day approached night Yet, no Eleairy Had I found in the light Disheartened, I left, The jeep and the road ..and all of the rest To wander in silence As the sun now slipped down In the far away west… Here was I, beleaguered and lost Letting quiet and calm, Replace muddled, and tossed Then… just before me A tiny trunk raised Through the greenest of grass In the most emerald of glades. Velvety gray From her stem to her stern How far had she traveled… My sight to return…. Suzanne © Poem response from 4 -2-1 -The Life Within – Saturday 17th September |
