I dream of Africa
my head in a cloud
after a night of darkness
I awaken to bursting
light
I am a traveler
always on a quest
I will not let
baggage weigh me down
I will conquer my
doubts and fears
possessing a free
spirit a nomad
dressed in zebra
skin, a wild horse
of the savanna , untamed I roam
amidst tall blades of the grasslands
trusting my
intuition and instincts
each step a part of the journey
my head held high
my head held high
I am a survivor..

ReplyDeleteHi Berowne,

A free spirit indeed.
ReplyDeleteWell, as free as I can be in my own little world.
DeleteA traveler...both physically and mentally. I love this Truedessa :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith..welcome back and congratulations!!!
DeleteLet the spirit soar as the baggage is let go and chucked in the river. A nomad on the go, not sure the zebra would appreciate you taking his skin though lol
ReplyDeletelol - chuck it in the river let it sink like lead..
Deleteword perfect!!..x
ReplyDeleteOh how I love this. Africa has captured my soul, too.......love the imagery, the zebra skin, the savanna, the grasslands......you took me there.

DeleteI like where this image took you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathe..
Deleteit is good to be a survivor, cause life will def throw you curveballs..
ReplyDeletei would love to visit africa...what a sad history it has, but still i would love to.....
ha - that is very true Brian and sometimes we just have to keep going. Wouldn't it be cool to go on a safari to be around all those majestic beasts. But, you are right it is a place that has suffered so much pain through history.
Deletelove the zebra skin and the survival spirit in this.. trusting the intuition and instincts is a good thing
ReplyDeleteThanks Claudia..I saw a documentary on zebras and they really have to trust their instincts to survive as they territory with lions.
