*“Named after Pieter Both, who was the first Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies, Pieter Both is one of the most beautiful mountain peaks in Mauritius.” Mauritiusnow.com>blog>things-to-do>pieter-both ************************************************************** A Magical Journey With a magical wand in my right hand I order nature to gift me with wings Not as Icarus near the sun to land, But across clouds my journey to begin: A lonely magical journey to eye The charm of nature from above the sky. Emboldened with supple feathery wings I head on a unique journey of dream Flying freely as a bird without strings To scan with fresh eyes a beloved realm: A stunning piece of land that shines with sparks When seen from the sparkling eyes of a lark. Winding my way through the web of white clouds A land of wonder relishes my eyes Of which with no doubt I can but be proud Without a single stroke of sneaky sigh: It is the sight of a small gem of land Surrounded by shining sea and white sand. It`s a journey of wonder and magic As I can admire fast flowing rivers, Bordered with tall trees that are majestic, Snaking to the sea, shining as silver With crystal clear waters that are so bright That they fill my heart with airs of delight. The magical journey of dream reveals A mountain top in the shape of three breasts, A sacred lake that giant trees conceal, A verdant forest that furtively rests Amidst greenery of sugar cane fields Stretching to the very verge of low hills. The low bird-like flight brings to the fore light The peak of a mountain with the thumb up And close by another peak greets the sight* With a sublime angel seated straight up Guarding the entrance of the town-city Basking freely in peace and harmony.
