Appealing Life

Life in the village is mesmerizing

Gemmed with all that is called serendipity

Attracting all life to its core within.

Simple is life in them

With a tiled home

And vast field to sow.

A turban on head

Is the honor of everyone

With a mustache on the face.

Oxen two yoked together

Plowing the fields behind

For the next crop in line.

Children chirping like free birds

Under sky blue, hopping in green so live

Enjoying their true childhood.

Lift up your eyes

The world around is dipped in green

That steals the heart from within.

Simple is their living

With cooking on wood

In an earthen pot, that is taste bound.

Finger-liking tastier it was

As I tasted that simple cabbage potato masala

Cooked in an earthen pot over wood with minimal spice.

Though I am an urbanarian

Yet I long to be there in the village

Donned in simplicity but blessed in humanity.
