Description
Heat. Colour. Throbbing.
LIFE!
When you grow up
To the beat of the sun
To the call of the howlers in the hills
The skate of iguanas darting across hot asphalt
The resounding whoop of laughter til you cry
Then more laughter
In scandalous abandon
With mischievous winks.
When the roll of your hips is instinctive, automatic
A result of knowing all of me
Logic, heart, sensuality, ambition, drive, creativity, resilience, protest, complaint, resourceful determination
Because we never never never give up
Even as we laugh and dance and sing.
When bougainvillea dance in your dreams
And the sounds of the rainforest wake you in the morning
Sometimes all of that goodness
That lushness of life
Is just too much to hold inside
And so, excuse me while I let it
Burst on to my canvas.
