Okavango

Tracks in the desert

Traces of animals bound for survival

Knowing the water was always there

Cubango river

Flows from the mountains and halts in the desert

Forming a miracle delta

Okavango

Ending of streams, beginning of life

Okavango

Savior of all that lives and grows

Okavango

Flow!

Sometime in summer

Just when the beds are beginning to show

The cycle of life lets its magic work

Pula means downpour

The skies fill the streams turning waste land to garden

Musk fills the air and new life explodes

Okavango

Perpetual maze of flows and streams

Okavango

Savior of all that lives and grows

Okavango

Flow!

Okavango

Ending of streams, beginning of life

Okavango

Savior of all that lives and grows

Okavango

Flow!
