Black rock
Perfumed with
Soul of Africa
Carrying human truck
For nine seasons
Shield like
A snaily shell of fish
For little stars
Soft smiling sentinel
Pressed by
Water rolling infantile
Hospitality over blown balloon
Flying unabated
On hard rocks
You are
Harmony in the storm
Whistled like a fluvial ice
Jewel of the Lion
Lamb of the house
Moulding the colours of man
