AFFECTION
LOCATION: ZAKOUMA NATIONAL PARK, SOUTHERN CHAD
Kordofan Giraffes
Life in line with the canopies,
It’s a little bit different.
The sunrise comes that little bit earlier,
The dusk that little bit later.
For us even the rains from above,
Greet us that little bit sooner.
We are touched by the Moon’s glow,
And graced by the Sun’s warmth,
Just that little bit quicker.
It seems the only thing higher is the endless sky itself,
And the stars that glisten above at nightfall.
But let me tell you a little secret,
The one thing higher than even the stars in the endless skies,
That which greets us quicker than any other,
Is my love for you.
My affection for you is the highest,
Closest and most enveloping feeling of all,
My dear.
