Safari
By Daryl Bracken
I am filled with excitement
For years I have planed
Now I am
here
On safari
The day of the hunt
I am walking
on clouds
Equipment is checked
On safari
The guides
lead the way
My anticipation is growing
Looking for elephants
On Safari
There on the tree line
It is majestically
massive
I must take a shot
On safari
I look through
the site
I see clearly its eye
In it only sadness
On safari
It sees me and trumpets
The day is fading
My time
is fleeting
On safari
I am growing impatient
The
day is growing to night
Once more line up my shot
On safari
He makes a mock charge
My finger twitches
I take the
shot
On safari
I swear to god
it is The best picture
I have ever taken
