A Commentary About Mauritian Beaches


Fading

Clear blue sea filled with fish
Frolicking, without anguish
Following each other's tails
Highway straight to jail

Tall stern filao trees
Wavering with the passionate wind
Majestic yet defenceless
The shelter, unsheltered

White beautiful sand
Looking like dreamland
Soon vanished, now a wasteland

Clear blue sky filled with ash
Everything's turned to trash
Just for some cash

Hope is fading
Seas are drying
Beaches are dying

Night Sea

Night calming sea
Full tides, moon shines
Somewhere off the West coast
Silence, tranquil bay

Listen! The rhythm of the waves
The splash of the water
The never-ending flow 
Nature's show

As we bathe in
The healing water
A note of faith remains
A glimpse of hope rises
