The Big Elephant
September 9, 2009

The Big Elephant kept to her step to proceed
And so she foraged on, slowly and calmly
Despite all the temperate air that surrounded her
Yet, she still kept a steady pace, foraging on.

It was then that she came to a small plateau
As if it signified itself as the top of her world
She came upon it then and planted herself
Steadfastly looking around, to see.

She gave notice of the vastness that surrounded her
And allowed her scope of vision to encase the lot
"What was it that she was supposed to see?"
And she kept seeking for the answer.

It was then, in that moment of questioning
That her vision was tightened to precedence
And there did she bring into her present being
The answer to her very question.

There, upon the plains before here was significance
That drew her into the prominence of that facilitation
It was a most remarkable identification of her very being
And she was enchanted by its presence.

There stood, a many distance, one of her own
That appeared much like her own self
It was a majestic being in stature
Pressing itself upon the plain.

Her immediate response was to trumpet
To call to it, to make herself known
And so she did just that
She raised her trunk and began to trumpet.

"I am here," she gave trumpet
"I am here, see me," she voiced again.
And then it was she questioned herself
"Why was it so important for her to not feel alone?"

The other then turned to witness her...

Love, Deb

The Big Elephant felt the drawing
Of this one in her sight
So she made way to greet this one
But it was then that she found
She was miles and miles away.

So, she took the path of least resistance
Making her way forward
And then she found that she had come to
A crossroads in her path
A multiple crossroads.

She stood there then and attempted to discern
Which path would lead her to that which she sought
Standing there, looking at each avenue presented
She found three paths before her
One straight ahead, another to her left, another to her right.

She paused then and questioned her very own self
Her head turned one way and then the other
And then another and then she was stilled
In her questioning, paralyzed...
She could not move forward.

It was in that moment that she realized
That she did not know which way to go
What avenue to seek, so she just lay down
She actually gave up and relented to the moment
She simply quieted herself, her tensions and rested.

And, it was in her resting that her direction was revealed.

Love, Deb

The Big Elephant
By Deb Abbott 03 November 2009


In her waiting, a presence was revealed
A long familiar presence that prompted her to rise up
And move forward, stepping lightly yes, but certainly securely
And so she trod on, simply and exquisitely
The presence was beside her all the way.

The dirt path was tromped from visages upon it
And still they moved forward along the path
Until they came upon yet another crossroads.
It was then a distinction of passage was made known
A very great contrast was presented.

The one that had presented itself softened her
Directing her to wait until the moment came for passage
And then the one motioned for her to proceed
They then proceeded together across the crossroads
Making sure they were not in any danger.

The path became simpler, it seemed.
It then became just a simple walk to where destiny beckoned.
And in the walk, the Big Elephant felt revived, refreshed
Renewed, she felt, so that she could now look upon
Her new path as a point of passage it seemed.

It was just a moment then when she was rendered
Nourishment and a place of rest
When that one that came to assist her
Directed her to a place of refuge.
She took to this place as her new home.

She felt that she would be here for a while
And she relished in that knowing
Allowing it to be so
She looked around
And that was when she came to…

Love, Deb
