Bright colors all around
People cheering in the moonlight
A figure looks me right in the eye with a smile on its face
His trunk moves side to side
That is his way of saying hello
Dressed in red, yellow, pink, and orange
Drums play and people dance
His trunk moves up and down
That is his way of saying hello
Smells of happiness swarm around me
There is not a single frown to be seen
His trunk zig zags in the air
That is his way of saying hello
The humidity of the place goes around
I grab a cold towel and wipe my face
His trunk swirls all around
That is his way of saying hello
A woman puts a bright purple flower in my hair
It shines as a slight breeze blows on my neck
His trunk dances in the wind
That is his way of saying hello
A man hands me a coconut
I sip it as flavor bursts in my mouth, there is nothing but kindness in this land
I move my hands side to side
My feet up and down
My head zig zagging
And my tummy swirling around
That is my way of saying hello to this beautiful place
