January summer
Spreads throughout the southern world
Beyond that equatorial divide,
January summer,
Where bright flowers stand unfurled,
Ensuring that their beauty will abide
Forever, always somewhere,
Whatever petals fall from the other side.
I wrote this short poem while out on a walk this morning. As you might imagine, it was inspired by the fact that I just traveled from the US back to Kenya, crossing the equator and going from winter to summer in the time it took to fly.
