Beyond The Arch
A young elephant dreaming and planning what his life would be outside his mothers protection
I live below my beloved matriarch,
Protected by my mothers tender arch.
From my sanctuary there are many wonderful sights,
That continue to amaze my eyes with colorful delights.
Patiently I wait for the time of my future growth,
For that is when I'll take the wanderers oath.
The world is forever vast and many sights abound,
Its hard to pick just one favorite among its holy ground.
My hope is to travel to these many places one day,
And tell the tales to my children along our merry way.
But for right now I'll stay beneath my mothers arch,
For that day when I can make that journey and embark.

Creativity is boundless. We are gardeners that bring forth these fruits of wonder. Nature is my passion and I love to help readers see the stories with their own eyes through my works. Whether its poems, fact, or fiction I bring it to life.
