One morning in South Luangwa NP

Strength

April 9, 2021

Uncontrolled

torrent on salt

damned by a plan

When I was strong,

once,

a rhythm of laughter.


Strength

was a mere shadow 

fractured by one breath.

Out it Alone

March 20, 2021

It came slowly

yet you are shocked?

no question asked

quiet with time.

Sunday Evening on Table Mountain, Cape Town ZA

January 19, 2020

Lovers hold hands,

friends toast,

as parents shout out to their kids.

I am silent

is that chill from the mist,

or is it from the memory submerged?

I arrived to Cape Town, after completing a 6 day bicycle tour in the Western Cape, mid-day on Sunday. After quickly checking in at my hotel I immediately hired a car to take me to Table Mountain National Park, the iconic place that holds the soul of the city. I was just able to take in the views before the clouds rolled in.
