The Cape of Good Hope
I breathed the air where the two seas meet
Where the perceived worlds old and new connect
The Cape of Good Hope
The pointed deferred dream of my ancestors old
Sores to meet the hope of my future new
I wonder of the people of indigenous past who were the breathing lungs of this land
Disrupters of worldviews present
I wonder if this world is afro and future like I hoped
Where the clouds reach down in benevolence to meet the mountains and ocean in right relationship
I hope for the liberation of this land and people from the domination of things old
Into the hope of renewal
Today I breathed the air where the world connected
And within me flowed my old into new hope
A Good Hope
