Exotic Mauritius

Have you ever felt the sun's glow bask over your skin And felt so soothed So totally content And exalted That you only want to stretch out Whether on the green grassy lands Or on the cold sands And drink of this glow Drink as much as you can As the thirsty do, after a long walk In an empty desert? Have you ever walked around town And felt so enlightened For surrounding you are places of worship Meant not for one religion solely But, being so diverse, yet, at the same time So peaceful and so tolerant of each other So much that walking through the streets And merely glancing at it all Your faith in the higher powers Would simply flare up! Have you ever wanted to sit, in total solitude And admire the ocean Whether it remains as calm as the blue skies Or whether it rages as if it were pandemonium Whichever, it matters not For in the end, you only want to let such a sight Drown in your gaze And feel wings grow on your heart To set you soaring up in emotional Intakes of heavy breaths Filled with the ecstasy of being! Why, have you ever wanted to feel warm in winter To complain of the heat all year round And to enjoy the sight of a tropical paradise One filled with a green flora And a diverse fauna And a multicolored nation One bent on protecting its legacy Yet, at the same time One prone to progress to tomorrow! Pray, if you do dream of such Then, come Come to the exotic tiny piece of land That is Mauritius!
