My Country, Happy birthday!

[Mukulaalow]

The love of field and coppice,

Of green and shaded lanes,

Of ordered woods and gardens

Is running in your veins.

Strong love of grey-blue distance,

Brown streams and soft, dim skies -

I know but cannot share it,

My love is otherwise.

 

I love a sunburnt country,

A land of sweeping plains,

Of ragged mountain ranges,

Of droughts and flooding rains.

I love her far horizons,

I love her jewel-sea,

Her beauty and her terror –

The wide brown land for me!

 

The stark white ring-barked forests,

All tragic to the moon,

The sapphire-misted mountains,

The hot gold hush of noon,

Green tangle of the brushes

Where lithe lianas coil,

And orchids deck the tree-tops,

And ferns the warm dark soil.

 

Core of my heart, my country!

Her pitiless blue sky,

When, sick at heart, around us

We see the cattle die –

But then the grey clouds gather,

And we can bless again

The drumming of an army,

The steady soaking rain.

 

Core of my heart, my country!

Land of the rainbow gold,

For flood and fire and famine

She pays us back threefold.

Over the thirsty paddocks,

Watch, after many days,

The filmy veil of greenness

That thickens as we gaze.

 

An opal-hearted country,

A wilful, lavish land –

All you who have not loved her,

You will not understand –

Though earth holds many splendours,

Wherever I may die,

I know to what brown country

My homing thoughts will fly.

Whoa tone down your jealousy lol. No Showqi isn't more Somali then you but he wished me happy independence day and it would be rude of me if I didn't return his greeting. Here you have it happy independence day Carafaat

 

Why are you suddenly calling me Bluelicious when you have always called me Blue. Is this your way of rebelling against me lol.

[Carafaat]

I'd rather adress you with your full name.

 

p.s. where is the OG in your avatar? And why havent you contributed to my "I love Dhaanto" thread?

Carafaat when you change the way you address me with my name it shows that you have a change of heart about me and that there is something that you are upset about. There is more to it then you actually want to admit. I know these things.

 

I know i'm an OG and I don't need to show it with a flag it's not a country, Somalia is my country so therefore I prefer the blue flag. I haven't seen your 'I Love Dhaanto Thread'.

[Carafaat]

you should look up the Dhaanto thread and contribute your favorite dhaanto. I will listen to it and intepret the lyrics, so choose your song wisely.

 

About having a change of heart, a heart cant be changed, we can only open or close our heart to people.

I don't want to since you closed up from me and keep acting weird. I'm not willing to work on things anymore since things are rusty and i've done my best tried everything and now i'm gonna leave it as it is. You always make it seem as if i'm the bad woman.
