A Love letter to my Country

by Collette   Mar 22, 2008


"I love you"
Is the song of the wind through my hair
"I love you"
Is a promise the waves make to the land, when they caresses her shores
"I love you"
Cold raindrops on my warm skin
"I love you"
a Golden field of sunflowers in the "Free State"
"I love you"
The taste of fresh plugged fruit in spring

"I love you"
Was the sound of syllables that I've trusted
"I love you"
The saltiness of teardrops on my lips

"I love you"
starving street-child
"I love you"
silence in a storm of violence
"I love you"
a gun against your head
"I love you"
That is why I fled . . .
