There is an evening breeze that comforts the path to Accra by night.
A common wealth for all who conquer its gradient;
prizing the illumination of the citied valley beneath.
A learned African crown jeweled with serene delight
&
little mountain secrets kept best by moonlight.
Unsuspecting souls seen from heights above,
minuscule yet vivid through the glimmer of artificial lights.
Their hidden stories birthing true conversation.
A solace of reasoning with sparse escape from the sofa of the mind.
Picture pleasant occasion frozen in time
found only in joyful thought
&
youthful moments divine...
These are the brightly darkened scenes
under a carpet of stars
channeled through the lens of ‘Accra by Night.’
