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. The sight was charming in the setting sun. Today over the paddy fields structures coming up pushing nature away further and further . Schools,shops, and residential buildings rise here and there, where paddy once thrived. Oil pumps hum at the once - quiet roadside. The paddy fields are vanishing there, day by day.

Due to urbanisation the lonely country road becoming busy Over the paddy fields schools,shops,oil pumps dwelling houses constructed So such beautiful sights now cannot be seen there again except these remain in the memory of the poet .
