Look up there, up in the tree, among the leaves. Do
you see her, the beautiful bird with an orange tail and matching crown? Look deep
into the green, the tiny bird flapping her glorious wings and twittering her
romantic song? See how gracefully she moves, see how properly she preens her
armpits. Watch how she opens her beak to make her sound, oh and how her wiry legs
move when she dances, prances from tree to tree?
Oh, look deep into the blue water, do you see that
fish, that school of fish? The little fish moving among the corals, yes there,
right where the sun stops and the blue of the moon begins. Beautiful, aren’t they?
Watch how gracefully they swim, how bright their coats shine. Look at the
bigger one, she must be the queen, the mother of the pack, the giver of all
life and vibrancy. She must be queen, ruler of the ocean, the aristocrat of the
vast blue, the owner of insurmountable wisdom.
Oh look up at those plains, yes, the ones right in
front of the twin mountains. What do you think of the rising dust? Yes, the red
dust in the distance, swirling around the unbothered kangaroos and past the
rushing gazelles. How beautiful the view, how pretty the background, the
patient mountain with a cap of honour and the humble plain prostate at its
feet. How majestic the look that fills me with pride and joy, how proud she
stands untouched, unchanged by time and season. Breathtaking isn’t she? A true
picture of unadulterated beauty isn’t she? Well, wait till you meet her, the
queen of the world, the ruler of the universe, epitome of unbridled beauty, she
that holds all in her hand and lets it trickle in her fingers.
She stands taller than the mountains and dances
better than the birds. She is more graceful than the gazelle and better than the
blue oceans. She has a smile like that of pearls at the bottom of the river and
the laughter that caresses the back of your neck. Look at her and you will
forget the mountains. Think of her and you will not remember the bird. Dream of
her and you shall not remember the fish of many colours. She that loves me is
the prettiest and the sweetest. She that I love is the true picture of beauty,
the true portrait of sweet memories, the magical paragraph of midnight, moonlit
dreams. She that I love rules the mountains and owns the waters. She has conquered
my heart, and thus she has conquered all.
