Inner Peace

Today I sleep under African skies,
My mind peaceful, my heart serene,
There is something about this continent,
Something about this red cooper earth,
That grounds me, that roots me.
I am here where I belong,
Here where my ancestors have lived
For a thousand maybe a million years
I am home, unguarded and unafraid.
I am back in your arms,
Ears pressed to your throbbing chest,
Listening to your rhythmic heartbeat,
I am back atlast in Africa ❤️
