Hey GF thanx for the love :-) something I wrote recently....tribute to a friend.....hope ya like..it's called Africa


kisses on wings, sent from heaven

jac


Your mane of manly dreadlocks
Shoulder your dreams of Africa
Cloaking your responsibilities
To your seed and super ego
Latent and not yet conceived
Subdued
Super glued
Behind a Minotaur of self protection

Your dark inherent skin
Peels
But not yet layered
It sweats, blood and tears
Released from traditions old
And deeply placed
Within a solid framework of behaviour
Not yet discovered
And always known

Your bloodline stretches
Imperfect
Not yet completed
You are not yet yourself
Until your blood flows
Releasing your emerging self
Made whole
By Africa calling you back
To where you belong

Hey Z, Thanks for accepting my request. Just want to let you know I love the imagery in your writings. Your take on the bushmen just sends chills down my spine. South Africa is proud of you. I'm proud of you. Make a turn at the urban voices vestival, I'll certainly come listen.
