Africa

Ive seen Skies light up my mind with interludes of lightning so breathtaking that the aftershock of the Thunder served as a reminded to breath Its power and beauty danced along the background of a shadowy mountain horizon While the lightning rods glowed with anticipation in the distance enticing the Sky to join the earth and the deluge of an afternoon storm set to the time of nature Woken and slept beside the land twith its wide open Veld Sat under a warm sun and day dreamed of a childhood i could scarcely remember Ive seen a mountain fire into light , turn night into day and thanked the lord to wake the next day Built a fire so bright it did the heavens ignite Stood beneath a frozen waterfall glistening at midway point surrounded by sunshine rays through canopy roof and thick undergrowth Ive listened to the sound of the natives scurrying beneath the twigs and betwixt the rocks patiently praying upon there next bounty and pondering whence to pounce The roar of the night so positively piercing the dim overcame my inhibitions and the hairs on the back of my neck let me know tonight my heart was alive and that sleep would fail Ive scattered ashes to prosperity on a view so panoramic God himself would have blushed Lived my fathers dream and boy the things we as a family have seen and to the best friends i have met who i will never forget, All of these things i have seen and have sensed under African Sunset Skies !!! .
