Whispers in the Wilderness

Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)



Amidst the wild's embracing arms, where verdant canopies extend,
Lies a sanctuary of serenity, where souls with nature blend.
The whispers of the ancient trees, that rustle with tales untold,
Guide us through the vibrant woods, where life’s mysteries unfold.

Footsteps softly tread the path, where countless beings have strolled,
Embarking on a timeless journey, through forest tales of old.
Every leaf, a chapter written, in the earth’s enduring book,
Bears witness to the transient moments, in every glance we took.

Dappled sunlight gently dances, through branches intertwined,
Illuminating fleeting shadows, where light and dark combine.
Feathered troubadours serenade, from perches high and free,
Composing songs of wilderness, a symphonic, natural spree.

Beneath the lush and fertile soil, secrets quietly entwine,
A network of life’s sustenance, in every root and vine.
The gentle brook tells stories, as it courses through the glen,
A melody of flowing time, that’s echoed now and then.

In the hush of the tranquil wild, where echoes softly dwell,
We find a haven to reflect, under nature’s enchanting spell.
Every breath of the whispering wind, that caresses a weary heart,
Is a reminder of unspoken bonds, that nature does impart.

In the silence of the wilderness, where eternity seems to linger,
We feel the pulse of the living earth, as if touched by a gentle finger.
Through every whisper in the wild, may we find a peaceful song,
An ode to the timeless dance, where all beings belong.
