Sunrise in the Kruger

A poem only because kruger is otherwise ineffable

Profound silences abide in the savannah 

Even as robin, dove, and whistling lark sing

their notes rise—an allegro to the light— 

While dawn spills a golden gown on the plain.

 

There is no cruelty here—only truth,

The buffalo combs its back on the brush   

Impalas graze wary of movement and sound

A leopard stares into the sun with its lifeless prey

Kruger is South Africa’s gift to the world

her voices many but in jarring rhythm

her wilderness a mirror for man’s forgotten soul

Both bear savagery and awe in every breath

One thought on “Sunrise in the Kruger

  1. Sunrise is always magical! In my book I mention how we almost wordhiped the sun After waiting in the dark to kill or be killed. Think Trnnispn wrote the Old Sun God will rise snd throw down the cross. Per haps that is why I Walk to Finisterre After walking the Camono
