Lost Back in Africa

It was while he was watching
her wearing
the white woolen cot shawl
   like that ..
Tied by her nannie, to protect
her head
from the sun, as she played
   in the park ..
He thought she looked like
a young
Arab sheikha, or beautiful
princess
and for a moment or two,
found himself
   once again lost back in Africa ..

Who couldn't love the random loving thoughts that are inspired through watching a child play. The beauty, the innocence. Thanks for sharing Nev X
