Summary: Night-time on Diani beach in Kenya





Oh dark beauty, Kenyan night
Black and majestic, yet freckled by light.
Stars make dusty your cloudlessly clean face,
Delicately embroidered with heavenly lace.

Oh beautiful night sky
So far, and so high
Lingering forever above me,
Mirror of the moonlit sea.

Oh Kenyan Night!
Blanket me with your might.
Be in my dreams, within my reach
Near me as I sleep on this fine beach.
