My Green Land
My Green Land
Navanita Medhi
The land I was born,
was a land of green only.
Wherever I looked at
found that refreshing colour –
breathed the cool air
coming from that green,
so soothing to the soul and mind.
Even the streams reflected
in their waters
the greenery of the banks –
the fascinating hills
and the extensive valleys.
Such was the land I was born
where the birds sang
to the content of their heart
in the green trees
and the cattle had the abundance
of the grasses to graze.
But now, I am missing
that beautiful scene,
that green ambience around
has vanished somewhere,
can’t have the same feeling
even though I am trying to create
a green space in my residing place.
