Queen of the Niger

QUEEN OF THE NIGER

Like a freshly blossomed flower
Rose, Jasmine... Lilies-even
Effusing scents of caramel and vanilla
Petals- soft, succulent and tender
Blossoming with so much gusto and glee
In the midst of thorn bushes and weed.

Outstanding- no! Standing out
Above all others in the evergreen plains,
and soft green hills
Buried in myth,
and shrouded in mystery
Only, but a few-
A sapient, may be even clairvoyant few
have had the rare honour of
only, but a glimpse
of this beauty and rare breed

An endangered specie,
So beautiful, she could give sight to the blind,
strength to the weak
and peace to the weary
To behold her awesome presence,
her enchanting essence
and overwhelming effulgence
is indeed a BLESSING.
