The Beat

Africa would always be there - deep in the heart.  How I longed for the african skyline.  The  beat of Africa was always there, and like a drum, it contined to beat on and on.  Repetitively, and in synchronisation with the calling of the african bird.  The stories of Africa were many - they held their own weight and value.  The common story of an african experience was one of, well, tragedy.  With the full sun, heat and bliss of a life lived closely co-existing with nature... came a familiarity with sacrifice and heartache.  A stone tossed into the water, in Africa, would alert ceaseless ripples.  A ripple that served as a catalyst for a never-ending ripple.  Something magical and enigmatic lay at the very epicentre of Africa.
