Le Morne

Jeewansing Ramlugun

You were right here, wistfully

it will be recalled,

at the crux of history,

having been an anxious time back

then , now in peace settled,

no conscience to rack,

the once dire days remembered

dignifiedly, from tribulations resiled,

an unflashy fishing village

succeeding in putting its stamp

on the world heritage map;

all benign and peaceable

it is an imposing , statuesque place

where all would seem to be so well,

sea and sand for disportments;

for a glorious time

you are warmly welcome

to sojourn even if briefly,

amid so much in the topography

that is ecstatically dramatic,

the angular grandeur

of the peaks, notably the iconic

Le Brabant: you would have merged

here into one singular splendour.
