Eco Village Poem by Fazli Sameer

‘Twas the break of dawn
as my feet kissed the lawn.
And I stepped outside,
amidst the stillness of the tide.
Breathing the cool air
that whistled through my hair.
As I sat down to view,
a Water Monitor slid through.
The twittering of the birds,
would have woken up the nerds.
A bright red ball up high,
rolled out into the sky.
Bringing life into the Lagoon;
What a beautiful tune,
That plays itself, every single day.
