Flamingo
Dawn sweeps
noiselessly through out the mountain,
Enveloping lake Tanganyika at the foot of
Kilimanjaro,
Cool air flutters its wings soaring deep in
serenity,
Thick white fog rises lazily soon evaporates
silently,
Concealed by wild bushes and tall trees so green,
Behold a magical plate was secretly revealed,
All visions light up in amazement and satisfaction,
Thousand of pink flamingos in a giant bowl adorn,
It was an ocean of soft pink wave marching to shore,
Entire heaven's splendor descended down on earth,
Absorbs with exotic life feasting on snails so
fresh,
Disregard of the world of man concealed by greenery,
At times, disturbing sound would trigger their
souls,
Rapidly, hundreds would spread their wings to Eden,
Rising high like a flash of pink arrows to the
clouds,
Transforming the clear sky from blue to pink
paradise,
Then tranquility spread across the mist once more,
Ocean pink would land softly on soft nirvana ground,
Peace enveloped anew through out the mountain,
Wave of pink flamingos was like an Elysian field of
life.
