When I was ten, went to a village where groundnut seeds were freshly sown
Where everything about the outside world is completely unknown
The house I had to live in was isolated from the village
In the middle of nowhere, I had to live like a secluded sage
Lived in the house was an old man of eighty years of age
Resembled a weak lion in the most peaceful cage
Behind that home was a land almost filled with yellow grass
Can we find another such a place with lesser gathering of mass
It was too beautiful to look in twilight
Hard to fully remind of other places than that sight
But the night was full of darkness with nothing to find
You can even get a doubt whether you are blind
Closing my eyes on that darkness, I try to sleep
But I wake up suddenly when on me cats try to leap
Those were the cats my master was growing
For me it looked very annoying
They always wanted to sleep beside me
So fully covering myself with bed sheets, i felt homey
Waking up in the early morning, I see moon still in the sky
And the gentle sound of cowbells made me see them pass by
A bit and slice of every emotion neatly served
Which would make all experiences of life fervid
Just a small boy was I then, so it's hard to recall much
Wasn't it worthy to live in a place as such
'Resembled a weak lion in the most peaceful cage' reminds me of my grandfather.. indeed its true.. the village atmosphere is peaceful, quite and beautiful.. hope the villages remain same forever.. a well penned poem! !

Peanuts in their shells, asleep For the next harvest so to keep And in the fall after the tending Bountiful harvest is intended. So it is that memories lie uncovered Until one, suddenly discovered Reveals the past and perhaps the future Of each, as with age we mature. s
