Martin Kinyua 1999 (Nyeri)

Close to the mountains.
Some even call it the mountain.
The serenity of that place .
The breeze from the windwards.
The birds chirping.
The fox howls at night .

Nothing like home.
Why I will never enjoy the concrete jungles.
I need the cock-crows in the morning.
I need the bird-chirps in the morning.
The cricket-chirps at dusk.
The green to surround me .

Home. Home Sweet home.

Plant and take care of a tree. ✍
