My Dear Friend: the Magical Safari Guide- By Julius M. Kanore

He appears, an apparition conjured by unseen powers.
His words come out of nowhere, striking awkward notes,
leaving an inharmonious taste.
His laugh, discordant, disconcerting: a sequel to his song of conversation.

His form like that of a slender gazelle on the savannah.
He runs with graceful gallops,
with a wild mane of hair grazing upon the sapphire sky.

His kind nature: an angel only seeing the silver linings of clouds.
He remains perpetually pleasant; no worldly entity wields the weapons to ignite his fu
ry. His angelic feathers never ruffle.
He plays the guardian, lending an unhelpful, helping hand.
Mere mortals encounter a supernatural being riddled by antithesis.
They discover a tone-deaf angel,
fallen on the African grasslands in animal form.
