fire lifts the balloon
high above Serengeti
joy and awe burn bright

2/4/2026 A Poem per day for February. ~~~ I wrote this a while ago, but did not publish it. The balloon ride over the Serengeti was in 2011, and it was magical. However, the noise of the gas into the balloon is very disturbing to the elephants (which the pilot explained), so I would NOT do it again. I don't want to disturb the lovely jumbos that I so admire, and want to thrive in their home in Africa. It is their home, after all.
