An elephant never forgetsas neither will I.The circle of cows around the unmoving new born.The gentle prodding of trunks.The Matriarch in chargeplaces guards to warn the herdof approaching hunters.Me.Crouched down,watching, transfixed.As slowly through breath comes lifeA stirring from the babeA tonal change in sound from mother and her sistersTime of the essenceThe calf wobbles on its legstries to rise, fails, tries again.Success!Its first steps,safe behind the herd’s protective wall.The call goes up.The whole group slowly moves off as one protective collective.ashramblings
