In A Paddy Field

Muddy land that borders by the sky Flood that lulls and some frame those trenches Arable land that buds new life A long view that stretches to thee When rain that pert sieves and swamps Slink to roots and veil somewhere Ponds that seize and crimp beside To nurture and withhold its trial Then bud that be the slam that hauls Cherishes to the sparkling life ahead Greenery that pelts and wake by time It’s the shriek of liveliness Some gold that grows and tilts to side Nature that hosts the warmth inside Long way that passes by small flies It’s rejuvenated everywhere Later it’s the time of harvest and joy Time that shed, and arid to hay In a long view it’s desiccated and infertile A long way to a fertile life…………….. ©2014 SALINI.S.NAIR.
