Kapok Tree of Santiago - Cabo Verde.

Aah Kapok Tree of Santiago.

Cabo Verde.

I bow to your fortitude.

900 years you have stood strong.

You have sheltered many

Including the freedom fighters of Cabral.

Your plea for peace

Vibrates my soul.

Connecting me to Mother Earth

And the cosmic source all that exists.

I hear your wisdom.

Our greatest illusion

Is one of Separation

Let us reach out our shade of compassion.

War and strife are not the balm of healing.

Love and forgiveness

Is what true faith is.

🙏🏾💜❤️💚
