Leaves have withered away
for harmattan
and the sun is hot coals
in your heart
as you walk the path of shadows
and the unknown.
I have seen your eagle
wings
from afar
and so long a time I have
wondered
who you are.
I sense you are one who
grows with the winds
and tell stories of
thin weak strings.
I sense your fears too.
They overflow as rivers,
they tell of your gallantry,
they tell your untold story.

Would have loved to title this piece ''AFRICA''. It knits her story well with a perfective imagery
