Different Colours

The colours are different here

Is it the stretch of thousands of miles and climates casting

The hues

more radiant

More vibrant

The purples reds oranges glowing in the golden sun

Containing every shade of yellow to enlighten the green and blue scape

Reflecting in the clouds and expansive arching sky

What is it about this land

I know

What it is

A treasure

A gift

A call

Which makes me frolic in the existence I exist

A mother father sister and brother of this land

Reaching out with my hand

Toward the caress of this soil and water and wind

The flora and fauna my kin

The colours of the settings sun

As satisfying to my heart

As the idea of being in Africa

My spirit inspired

This is

my home

I am the sun and moon

I return to rise and set

Like the tide and ebb
