Guest		This poem is not new, but was first written to Poemhunter: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-africa-while-i-was-there-in-the-desert-sands/ To Africa Come here rise with me Mornings of the heart Love is sweet and free From the hours start Given in to rise Glowing new sky Nowhere gray’s disguise In its stepping high Over clouds that drift Every curtain line Up and up to lift To make new sunshine Tangling the rust On earth's field Ages to coming dust Stories are still wheeled Through the open door Every aspect goes Riches and what they store Wealth of green grows Mother Nature’s thrill Deserts sands that blaze To new dreams fulfill Your irresistible bright ways -If you like this, then please go to the above link (there's more there... ;-) Peter S Quinn (85.197.227.36), on November 24, 2008 [report post] [quote] [reply]

Strong Hands of Mother Africa

By J. Joy “Sistah Joy” Matthews Alford

Strong hands of Mother Africa
Awaken places deep inside me
Where my ancestors dwell
Like distant echoes, your heart-beat
Reverberates off Kilimanjaro’s mountain-tops
Pulses down the Nile
Crosses the Sudan
And flows into my soul

Strong hands of Mother Africa
Call my absent spirit
To return and commune with the elders
Those who sojourned before me
Now light my path and
Await my homecoming

Strong hands of Mother Africa
Reveal to me my history
Teach me the ways of my true homeland;
Unmask the mysteries and tragedies
Of this altered consciousness
Awaken in my mind and body
The un-ripened seeds of truth,
Power, and pride
Solve for me the paradox of my mortality.

Strong hands of Mother Africa
My soul dances to your ancient rhythm
Pulsing, ever pulsing, through the veins of time
Teach me to beat Africa drums
So that I, too, may guide
Another absent spirit to your shores
So that I, too may guide another absent spirit
Home!
