The Gazelle

Among Solomon’s first love commands in the book of his Song of Songs, He adjures the young maidens by the gazelle, and how charm makes them strong. For the gazelle is a gorgeous creature with beauty and unequalled grace. She moves with elan and fleetness of foot, darting here and there leaving no trace. Her sensuous body, caressed by the gentle breeze, trots about almost unseen, Making the wildflower to blush and the envious grasses to turn a vivid green. Eyes sparkling, she darts lightly about the meadow with all of her senses alert. Seeming to be rolling and gliding, she can disappear and reappear in a spurt. In the beauty of the length of savannah, she has no noticeable match. Prancing from one thicket to the next, she stays too smart to catch. Knowing well her environs, she blends with the hues of the scene. By dieting lightly and steadily moving, she keeps her figure lovely and lean. The photogenic bounty of every cameraman’s trained eye, Her graceful hurdles and jumps can literally touch the sky. The beauty of her eyes are a legend, their sharpness is a must. Such a marvel of lightness and grace, there are few that she can trust. Throughout two of the largest continents, she has reigned as a goddess; Yet being a figure of poise and glamor, she remains demure and modest.
