    Kilimanjaro Rises

    Kilimanjaro Rises   Kilimanjaro rises to meet the moon as elephants roam the Serengeti below. It was here I last saw your smile so many winters ago.

    • “before my daily rebirth” I dug that line because the rest we get (sometimes) refreshes us, although for some more than others, it’s likely the last time. It reminds me that I have to be thankful for every day I get and try to make the best of it.
      Nicely done.

    • I turned 78 today, so I hear you loud and clear. Each night, one wonders if dawn, or something else, or nothing at all will come. We get one of them, but not our choice.
