As I lie here on the tiled floor of an old rent room
I dream of the pages unknown …
The speed of Rufiji river and the roars of mikumi lions,
The cold breeze of Kilimanjaro and the bottom of Tanganyika,
The mounds of Uluguru ranges and the scattering hooves of Serengeti migrations,
Is where my soul lays awake
But buried in a wanderlust hole
I haven’t read many lines
But I have walked on the borders of the Indian waves
Meandered on the tremors of the abode of peace
And sipped from the wells of a beautiful semi desert
Amidst a sly nation
And I pray that when I die
I get buried in nature’s gracefulness
So my heart can rest
In the deepest caves of Amboni
And my soul linger
In the shadows of Oldonyo Lengai
And my mind
In the calm waters of Natron
For it is suburbs unknown
That we can find ourselves
For soulmates aren’t people
But lands far away.

I read this poem with a smile on my face . It made me feel at home with the mention of mountains and lands that raised me, now that I’m in a foreign lands.
Dear author, It’s a beautiful poem
