Countryside Road Poem by Debendra Majhi
Countryside Road
The road to my village
Is donned with
Lines of plants and trees,
Names of some I know
But some, not so.
My village end starts
With coconut trees,
Spiriting into the blue sky,
Embellish by the steady breeze,
Hissing orchestra they play.
Their shiny leaves
Flash and flaunt
On the night-long moon beam,
Sparkle as if
Thousand moons
Inhabit in the leaves.
When the East-wind blow,
Tree trunks sway
Like elephant trunks,
Rhythm with the
Descending raindrops,
Dripping from each tip
Of the leaflets
As if a teenager
Soaking her hair beads
In her first monsoon rain,
out of enigmatic love-pain.
At the other end
Of the village land,
There stands a grand banian,
Same as it was,
From grand parents age,
prop-roots hang down
with Socrates wisdom.
There are hundreds
Of trees in-between,
Having leaves of
Varying shades and green,
The grass blades all around
Grown un-even.
Countryside road is muddy
But clean and green.
The visionary impact of flow of your words is something to admire. Well conceived and nicely penned. Thanks for sharing.
