how do I

adequately

describe

what it feels like

inside

when I look

elephant

in the eyes?

It is as if

elephant

is kin,

as if we share

the

exact

same

skin!

My heart flutters,

a sudden

recognition

it utters

at the

sight of

elephant.

My Soul leaps

as it greets

an essential piece

long buried-

very deep.

A sigh of relief;

the end of a subtle grief;

a mystical reunion

is of what I speak

when

elephant

and I

meet.
