Elephantine Ascension
Reflection
Beneath the weight of ages, the elephant stands,
A mountain of grace, a fortress of calm.
Its trunk, a river of wisdom, flows with purpose,
Carrying the dreams of those who dare to climb.
The multitude atop its back, a tapestry of souls,
Each with their own story, their own burden.
They rise, not by force, but by the strength of the beast,
A living bridge between earth and the heavens.
The elephant, a symbol of patience and power,
Bears the weight of ambition and hope.
Its eyes, ancient and wise, see beyond the horizon,
Guiding the weary to a place of peace.
In this ascent, we find our own journey reflected,
A climb not of selfish gain, but of shared purpose.
The elephant, a guardian of the soul,
A reminder that strength is found in unity.
So climb, if you must, but remember the beast,
For in its shadow, we find our truest selves.
