That Countryside

That countryside

where there’s serenity

where they pluck organic

cook authentic

Their big red cheeks

The winter still unable to defeat them

Besides the little fireplace

Where they’ve added

Warmth to the whole clan

Where they sit together and have mid-day meals

.

That countryside

Where they wake up early

Go farming and

Grow enough to eat

Where they take a break after

The day’s toil

Where they gather in evenings

With the community

For the dance of life

.

That countryside

Where there’s no hurry

Where they only intend to live

Happily

Nothing to brag about to

their fellows

Where it’s all about

Sharing the day’s good and bad

And encouraging

that there’ll be a better tomorrow

.

That countryside

Where there’s Peace

Calm

Love

Togetherness

Happiness

and

Content

.

That countryside I want to visit once

And may be, be there

Forever!
