Blessed Southern Isle

Jeewan Ramlugun

All the wizardry of words

all the lyrical pyrotechnics

or poetical exploits

could hardly suffice

to depict or describe the sunset

you have witnessed

and that your heart had moved,

the waves rolling ,crest over crest,

crescendoing upon sheer cliff rocks

then falling away as if in tears,

exhilaration ending in anticlimax,

though myths through the years

have attributions of sadness

vested the story of stones

that weep the pains of sorrows;

in the distance the blue waters

dance under light glimmering,

joy with melancholy intermingling.
