Elephant Soul

I will never be as graceful 
as a butterfly, floating in the breeze, 
wings as light as leaves, 
gifting soft kisses like you never 
knew I was there but for the touch 
like a whisper.
I am clumsy but sweet, 
making tough journeys 
on my thudding, heavy feet. 
I can make the ground 
tremble at my coming 
and shake in my wake. 
I have an elephant soul, 
full of strength.
