The generous earth.



The generous earth.

I was strolling along a mudy road,
of a village in an early morning
and I was in a relaxed mood.

I saw some velvety dewy grasses,
on the solitary village road side,
reflecting the sun lights like dimonds.

A naked brested man,
balancessing faggots on his head
and his muscles were rippling under the early sun.

A thin,native,flee pestered dog,
walking hastily on the road.
Violet weeds flowers,popping up their heads from a bog.

Suddenly a soothing breeze
rushed over the paddy field
Which was golden under early sun blaze.

I gazed and gazed,
became transfixed and thought,
"when the earth is so generous,
what more can be exposed."
