The Lane I Travel

A little far from the village and much far from the city,
A ghetto in which many huts have no electricity;
Full of beautiful fields, ponds, temples, all enchantingly glow,
Around every path one finds obstinacy of buffalo;
Cows, bulls, calves, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry occupy each free space;
Demand their space if I want to reach my place with godly grace...

This is exactly what I experienced as a child in India, and fell in love! it was short for me .. still now can't forget the simplicity, kindness, closeness, natural surrounding! Wish you all the best for the contest - your poems are heartfelt and touching! Love ~ Mala
