Land Of The Giants

Theme: Nature

lyrics

Six AM, and the glowing crest of sunrise wakes the cyclists to their porridge, cooked upon the embers of a dying fire. Footprints indicate the elephants that walked nearby, hulking frames that show surprising grace when navigating guy ropes in their constant quest for food.

Soon they depart, tires crunching over dirt and dried up river beds, navigation aided by the birds nests all on the same side of the trees to shelter from prevailing wind.

Impala are the most prominent inhabitant, jumping away only when the bikes draw near, leaving their scent for others to follow. Past zebra, and past giraffe in the ever growing heat, until bathing elephants attracted to a broken water pipe enforce a change of route.

Come evening, they see more stars than they'd ever seen before, with even the planets making a sparkling appearance. Then bed, under the tree where the scorpions glow, and baboons watch eagerly for discarded scraps.

Early start tomorrow.
