I beheld a sight that depicted the harmony 

of nature and man, now forgotten 

amidst the quest for success and horrors of defeat

between life's angst and life's rest

I saw a Fula boy lying on the white sand banks of a peaceful lake

across the lake, some cows stood munching some fresh green grass

while  the Fula boy played his flute

a harmonious sound that flirted in the wind

 sedating the cows who munched contentedly

comforting my soul with  its healing sounds
