Elephant Walk

Walking with the elephant 
Sure - solid - steady steps - 
Going straight forward - with purpose - 
Remembering that which is important: 
Surety - knowledge - forward in the present - 
Working hard - helping others with strength 

When finished - going to the water 
for a cleansing, refreshing bath 
Socializing and speaking LOUD - 
The elephant dance will follow! 

"Singing elephant sister – 
Come out into the light and greenery - 
Bellow forth your lovely chants!" 

Delicacy and strength are united
in a feminine, enchanted voice 
Low, booming, reverberations spread into the air 
Holy sounds 
sing forth!

Lovely, Harriett. Reminds me of one of my favorites-Sappho. Hope you are well.
