On the Savannah

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Camouflaged tawny, same as the dry grasses they sleep among, ears twitch and nostrils flare at the gentle breeze. The smell of Zebra permeates the air. The dry heat glistens and shimmers above the wafting grass. Softly she grunts and the pride's future wobbles up to her and meows hungrily. The lioness, mistress of all she surveys, rolls gently to one side and lets the kittens suckle. Mothers' love spans all species and in its universality makes us all the same.
