ODE TO ELEPHANT

ODE TO ELEPHANT Elephant Elephant enveloping essence of Earth ! I hear an elevated trumpet far in elixired fair forests my ears etheric ornaments in your eloping velvet ones stroking my elfin questions expired breezes in your trunk Aah ! Matriarch of my Planet enchant ! ensnaring mud you elliptically trample follicking fat babes engrossing Excelsior Goddess enthroned under African Sun emboldened standing Heart emancipated embroidered on a march through ember days You sway embracingly away Elderberries energetically enrich your blinking beguiling navigation moves through seasoned landscapes ever wandering encounter my quantum questions into dew grasslands singing grace How you encape my ennui to seek no encore, but enamour ! Did He dream ivory tusks as elongated jewellery or carved knife handles You timeless care not sure treads through Love’s deserts lost while cacti filled with nectar bitter, stare then jitter Pine purity tall imbibing your grey wrinkled wisdom my enlaced questions for enquiry twinkle in your aeon eyes from heights of snow-capped mountains once you crossed to lowly circus encrypting dance How do I ode your enduring birthing body when you humour my fanciful fate dissolving destiny in your sturdy legs an eternal etching on my ebony forehead ? Creation’s Victory is all my ensuing humility can encapsulate to essentially Elephant vibrate ! ©GhairoDaniels Poetry&Song 2012/edit2024
