The Beauteous Colour Green

I skied my way through the majestic Alps,

Their frozen beauty left me cold.

I sweat my way through the deserts of Sahara,

The barren landscape did not fill my heart with warmth.

And then I made my way back to my own country,

And nature enfolded me in all its green glory.

From the Ghats in the West to the mangroves in the East,

Was a landscape of greenery for my eyes to feast. 

A sense of peace settled over my being,

Under the towering pine trees of the North.

A soothing breeze blew my cares away,

As I reposed beneath the swaying palms of the South.

Verdant fields of rice, millet, and paddy,

Gladdened my soul and fulfilled every basic need.

Plantations bursting with tea and coffee,

Were a carpet of green beneath my feet.

Every place that my eyes beheld,

Was the green of my flag, in nature’s divine bounty.

Drenched in its beauty, I thanked my God,

Who had filled my country, with prosperity and plenty.
