Eritrea (landscape)

Rocks and dirt and sprouts of green bushes

covered with brown and beige

And grey rocks of all types of sizes and textures

Landscape touched by nature… undisturbed by men

Where camels freely roam

Where goats and sheep and cattle feed

Where humans live with the earth

Surrounded by mountains

circled by mountains

Mountains so tall you notice the sky

A sky so vast… so beautiful

A sky that steals your breath

A landscape where different species of trees stand

Trees old and new, tall and small, bent and stiff

Trees that provide shade

from the blazing sun

The sun that proudly shines

Shines down on the gorgeous landscape

A landscape that reminds me of the gifted hands of the creator

Helps me recognize the gift of the earth

The beauty of life

(Written while riding a bus to Youth Festival 2008)
