Counting Down to Departure

african aubade
to wake in africa...
seat of life, source of being,
home of my heart for reasons unknown...
sun rising abruptly...
an assertive invitation to living...
                                             seeing...
                                             experiencing...
                                             EVERYTHING!
                                                                        soon and very soon...
                                                                        soon and very soon...
                                                                        soon and very soon...
