Sprawling across the horizon
Dried up patches of grass and shrubs
Hanging on to the landscape
With their modified roots
Acacia trees of different age groups
Scattered about lovingly showing
Their evergreen luscious leaves
Smooth bald patches of stone face
All around you forming a magnifient pattern
Of mosaic to the discerning human eye
Your place in our history is preserved
You were a safe haven for my tribe
Against marauders centuries ago
You willingly supported both fauna and flora
Controlled the climate of adjacent lands
You are a wonder to behold
Your aesthetic prowess is out of this world
Your apparel in the dry season
Is reminiscent of a reluctant warrior
A royal robe to grace the wet season
A king for all seasons you are
A royal to generations of land dwellers.
