Greetings reader. Understand Forests and Rivers draw me in. Let these words take life in your minds.
I am with a friend,watching the river go by.
Bound by honesty,deep in the forest we are.
He turns and asks me,
Are you okay? Where have you been?
I like this one. Big brown eyes. Maybe with a matching bear heart.
“Come on. You know me.”
That is not an answer Rafiki. We are bound by Honesty!
Okay. Easy.
“I have been away Rafiki. I have.
But I do not stink of war, do I?”
I am planning one though. Don’t tell.
Sometime soon I plan a raid.
Sssh. Shush!
You are planning one! Please. Not again,Please?
Argh! Bound by honesty.
“Come on. This one is different.
I promise no loosing myself in the victory or loss.
Whichever comes first I accept.”
Can’t you just wait for your turn Rafiki?
What makes you go back to strife?
Hopeful one,I like him.
But what comes to a Man that waits?
Nothing!
“The crowds.
The cheers and the roars.
These make me go back Rafiki.”
