A Vanishing Sight

From a lonely country road I saw in the distance on my bicycle a young couple in traditional dress lovely, in the evening sunlight crossing the wide winter paddy field . They might be returning home from a ceremony, a charming sight in the setting sun. Today, structures are coming up over the paddy fields, pushing nature further and further away . Schools,shops, and residential buildings rise here and there, where paddy once thrived. Oil pumps hum by the once - quiet roadside. The paddy fields are vanishing there, day by day.
