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 !!! .
