My Village Poem by Sathya Narayana

My Village

Rating: 5.0


Miles away my village
through rocky thorny way, yet
I love going there!

Across the farm greens,
caressing thin coarse leaves
I love going there!

Wading through the slimy mud,
slashing in shallow river beds
I love going there!

Chasing butterflies,
taunted by honeybees
I love going there!

Warbling pastorals,
chartered on a bullock-cart
I love going there!

It is rather unfortunate that our present generation do not have any contact with the village. In fact a vast majority have not seen a village! Let this poem be dedicated to them! -Raj Nandy

'I love going there' is used as a refrain to regain a sense of belonging. A fulfillment one keeps replenished. I like this poem very much. It expresses a basicness that has solidified your 'foundation'. Very nice.
