detailxl, **Ode to the Elephant** In the heart of the savanna, where the golden grasses sway, A giant roams with grace, beneath the sun's warm ray. With skin like ancient parchment, rough and deeply lined, Each wrinkle tells a story, of the wisdom it has mined. Majestic in its stature, a tower of gentle might, With ears like sails of canvas, catching whispers of the night. A trunk, a wondrous marvel, a versatile embrace, It reaches for the branches, or caresses a young face. Tusks like ivory crescents, curving proudly from its head, Tools of strength and beauty, in the wild they are widespread. Eyes like pools of wisdom, deep and soulful, they reflect, In herds they find their solace, a family intertwined. Oh, gentle giant of the plains, with heart so vast and true, You roam the earth with majesty, a spirit born anew.
