REFLECTING ON CHANGE

On a recent visit to Cape Town

We went to the beach.

*

The sea there

Is icy cold all year,

Whatever the weather.

It is not until the Atlantic meets the Indian Ocean

That it becomes benign

*

We left Africa

Nearly forty years ago.

At that time,

The Africans were not allowed on

White Beaches!

*

Since then,

Times have changed.

These pools have been built

For all.

*

I reflected

On the pleasant sight

Of young brown bodies

Enjoying the water.

*

Not all change is for the worse!
