By the Fire Side

Ambient August night Stars dotted skies Moon light cast no shadows Thoughts perfectly aligned. The trees are dazzled In peaceful resonance they dance To the mesmerised wind songs Mind finally at self peace. Gentle breeze surrounds All around the kids gambol Fireflies light up the skies Soul sojourned in a village square. Lightening precedes the thunder Hues upon hues mingled in echoes Divine lights in cosmic arrays All captured onto portable display screens. Mosquitoes and bugs in the dark Body partially covered in cotton cloths Seated on a stool by the fire side Listening to tales from granny. History foretold in native tongues vivid images of antiquity painted with words by the fire side everything comes alive Hazy moon ,sweet dew ,Africa is home.
