"A Safari," he said,
"Not with elephants, savage
lions, stiff-necked giraffes;
but with the mind, with
the eyes of a dreamer."

In the background,
the sound of a Macaw
trilling out wonder
at the passage of another
idea.Trailing after
earth-tones, zebra-striped
pillows, sheep-skin slip covers
accenting the spirit of Safari,
the warmth of the thought.

"See what can be,"
he whispered, "Not what is."

And then, I heard the lions
roaring, the giraffes munching
on the succulent leaves
of an Acacia tree, the elephants
stomping out a rhythmic declaration,
an invitation to join in the Safari.

'accenting the spirit of Safari,
the warmth of the thought'

Very much enjoyed. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.
