LONG THOUGHTS ON A KALAHARI DRIVEWAY 

Champagne sky 
becomes cerulean clouds 
I drive 

Gliding trancefully
these ancient undulations 
I drive on 

‘Strate’ of grass(lands)
and valleys of red roads 
I drive still 

It’s a sight
momentus even 
magnificent Roan by day 
and Bat-eared fox at night 
I drive through 

A surprise buffalo 
and a lunch time squirrel 
I drive passed 

Patriot emblems 
cross my path
I’m sharing nights with the stars 
I’m captured 
I drive in thought 

I’m here a few moons I realise 
Not to rest, but to delight 
In basins of beauty 
I drive with conviction 

Knowing there’s a sunrise 
I have never seen 
Presented by a natural duo force 
I drive in rhythm 

It’s partly secret 
and its preservation at its best 
you are here to witness its wonder 
this scape 
in this moment 
I drive along 

Only to arrive 
astounded
