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
