Sam and Jake, please read this poem aloud. It expresses my emotions better than I ever could, and will hopefully help you understand my desire to relive my dream... When you have acquired a taste for dust, The scent of our first rain, You’re hooked on Africa for life And you will not be right again Until you can watch the setting moon And hear the jackals bark And know they are around you, Waiting in the dark. When you long to see the elephants, Or to hear the coucals song When the moonrise sets your blood on fire You have been away too long. It is time to cut the traces loose And let your heart go free beyond that for the horizon, Where your spirit yearns to be. For Africa infects the soul And sets ones senses free It’s special gifts – sight, sound and smell Pervade incessantly. For in this world of chaos, Where hatred rules supreme My heart turns again to Africa And I relive my dream.
