Saut D'Eau 

 (By Stephanie Jeannot)

More than the eye of the media

More than the many mountains and trees

More than the heat and the deep blue sky

That surrounds the island of Haiti

  

When you see the waterfalls of beauty

And the fields of tall sugar cane

And on July 16th when they celebrate the fete

And you see a marching parade

  

And when you get that family feeling

Like everyone around is your cousin

And you eat food as if you were a King or Queen

And you feel the hot but not humid sun

  

It's an experience you won't just want to live once

Though mosquitoes might attack you all the while

You'll get chills when you swim through La Therme

And want to join in the rain dancing of child

  

Awakened by the earth by roosters and their crow

It beats the morning sunrise that through each window glows

And marinade, patties and greo are set at the table

And there's no egos based on what you have or clothing logos

 

 It's like living in another world, where is spoken another language

Especially when you approach the waterfall and walk into it's freshness

Saut D'Eau, a destination of beauty that the whole world should see

A part of Haiti and it's culture and it's travel-o-city.
