Frederick Kwesi Great Agboletey
SERENGETI
Here we are,
Half way round the world To a place So different We are lost In wonderment-
Our senses are twirling Seeking
to find direction In this vast plane Of seemingly endless expanse-
The surprise of things never seen This
sudden awakening to nature Life in awesome diversity Creation beaming with unlimited variety-
The surging never
ending energy Drumming endless variations of consistent rhythms Till our drunken senses succumb Drowning in things
so old and so renewing We slip under, to awaken to renewal-
Undrape me from the clinging hindrance, Strip me
of all reservations Unloosen the binding ties of depersonalization Free me from the burden of the free world Loosen
me from myself, the civilized me-
Break the bands of time Let loose a moment of infinity Outside time-
I
have arrived To express myself The true me Bursting forth In one maddening rush Of realization
To this
ancient spread Of freedom Here my soul bubbles Rolling along with the windswept terrain A gush of life in an aridity
of excesses I have arrived-
