And you thought Africa was all brown?
Dust blowing over the dry savannah
animals desperate for water
and the tall elephant grass withering in the heat.
Or maybe you pictured Africa as green?
When the dark clouds drop torrential rains
everything changes into fresh green
and the big herds migrate to green pastures.
But did you see Africa as blue?
The sparking blue oceans that surround it
its azure skies that always bless the land
and its silver blue stars that watch the birds sleeping.

What beautiful art! Simply wonderful !
Thanks Debbie! I love that piece, I almost missed my plane once in South Africa when I decided I had to go back to the shop and get it with me.
After your beautiful poem I now like to think my cradle was blue 🙂 Clearly the real one was…
Thanks Maurice. I’m sure it was blue like the skies and comforting like the ocean waves slowly rolling toward the shores 🙂
Very nice. I like what you said. My kids have a friend from S. Africa. He’s been telling us all about it….the beauty of it.
Thank you Koko…yes Africa is a beautiful continent, with thousand nuances and vibrant colors.
Thanks for sharing your love of this wonderful place.
Thank you Marsha! I hope to share more little by little…
Yes, you are right; so much blue. I had quite forgotten.
yes, we tend to think/remember more of the brown and the green. I have this wall hanging on my office wall, it brightens my day.
It is the brown I remember, and colours like the jacaranda in our street in Lusaka.
I remember the jacaranda in Lusaka as well! I hope everything is fine where you live despite the new earthquake on the South Island.
Our city is fine. The quakes are north of us but the people up that way seem to be coping well with the rumbles.
How beautiful. What a joy for an eye.
This wall hanging is next to my laptop in my office/library and my eyes rest on it often …
