The daylight shines on the African sand,The trees, the animals, the eminent land.The sky is a canvas for unpolluted eyes,

The shadows dance while the lion’s prey diesAs the sun rises, the sunlight paints another view.

The day starts again as if the process is new.The same routine starts over once more,

This day’s no different than the ones before.The elephant mother wakes up to the fresh, new day,

While the vulture’s feast maintains its decay.The cheetah awakens to look for its meal.

To see which of the zebra is the most ideal.All the plants and animals interact in a sensual art.

Everything coincides, they share one heart.The opulence of it all quenches one’s thirst like wine.Disturbing the beautiful balance would be an absolute

crime.The entire presence of such magnificent bliss,

Makes one wonder if it truly exists.
