Gisenyi ,Rwanda

One day, i will fly to the most beautifull hills
where all will be as green as natural
where the wind will run through my face
in a welcoming hymn just to put me at ease

i will sit in the sand looking to the sky 
the one full of stars just near the beach
feeling the breeze and hearing the sound of the lake
as it moves, calling me to embrace it

but i will sit still, waiting to see the dawn
the one that tear the sky apart
calling up a new day,
and if by chance i'm holding ur hand,
we shall name the place GISENYI

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.

Great job, here - for a native French-speaker (?) Your command of English, and diction, are wonderful ...but is Gisenyi a place already, or will it mean "romance" when your beloved sits hand-in-hand, seeing the sky tear dawn from its screen? Thanks, au revoir, merci beaucoup, & shalom. Anil Deo
