Ancestral Canvas!!
Inspired by the drive to my native place in the Konkan (Maharashtra, India)
The long winding roads
And the bluebells lining them
The wide-wide fields shiver
In the monsoon mayhem
Opulent green of pastures
Reveling in brown cattle dots
The mesmerizing blue sky
Hung with fluffy white clouds
Green-grey mountains
Reaching out to heaven
And the silver of waterfalls
Hurrying to the ocean
Fiery yellow midday sun
Almost blinding in its glory
The shade of trees soothing
Respite and rest from duty
Workers in the paddy fields
Bodies glistening with sweat
Simple needs, simple deeds
At simplicity, always adept
Vivid hues in abundance
And the fertile soil of my land
Sheer happiness of existence
Priceless than riches grand
And the bluebells lining them
The wide-wide fields shiver
In the monsoon mayhem
Opulent green of pastures
Reveling in brown cattle dots
The mesmerizing blue sky
Hung with fluffy white clouds
Green-grey mountains
Reaching out to heaven
And the silver of waterfalls
Hurrying to the ocean
Fiery yellow midday sun
Almost blinding in its glory
The shade of trees soothing
Respite and rest from duty
Workers in the paddy fields
Bodies glistening with sweat
Simple needs, simple deeds
At simplicity, always adept
Vivid hues in abundance
And the fertile soil of my land
Sheer happiness of existence
Priceless than riches grand
