My first glimpse of the island of Bora Bora, one of the French Polynesian islands in the Pacific Ocean as it appeared in the morning mists a truly magical sight.

MYSTICAL ISLAND
Out of nowhere it arose
mist shrouded peaks from out the sea,
As I gaze in awe and wonder
it calls softly out to me,
Come here pay me a visit
discover all my secret charms,
Find the peace within my valleys
seek cool shade beneath my palms,
I have gently flowing rivers
with their waters crystal clear,
Enough to quench the thirst
of all those who visit here,
I turn to see if others
had been affected just like me,
But they continued talking loudly
just as if they could not see,
The wonder right before us
or hear the magic of it's call,
When I looked back it had vanished
was it ever there at all.
