MARCH 2008: Home in Zanzibar

It is the first time in my life that I’ve taken the time to sit and cuddle under the shade of a tree while lying on the beach. It is simply an exquisite experience. It means I’ve read three non-fiction books for pleasure this month. I must have been thirteen when that happened last.


Time waits for me

She’s not rushing or pushing

She’s singing a new song

Of breezes in trees

And reading in books

I cuddle within her invisible arms

And rest

Wondering why

Where had I gone?

Africa’s rhythm

Mending the doors of my busy heart

Opening and widening within the warmth of her ocean

So far away

I am home.
