In Praise of the Giraffe
“It is one thing to see far; it is another thing to go there.”
Constantin Brancusi
Yes, it sees far
And yes, it goes there
It carries its big heart
With the grace of a butterfly
And often plunges its tongue
Into savannahs of delight
It lives from the land
And dies on the land
Above all a voiceless being
Wordlessly addressing our soul
Perhaps an early warning to all
Hiding their grief by words alone
