Away from the humdrums Chose i the land of green pastures, Gods own country...

Away from the humdrum
My mind craved for some serene place...
Chose i the land of green pastures, Gods own country...
Landed i on the platform after the enegine coughed the last puff of smoke

Fresh air i breathed once i arrived the green land
Traditionally soaked were the folks of land
Ladies draped in the yards of unique white
And men also draped in multicolored cloth around their waists
Spices smelt the air and banana plants ornated the lanes
Flora of varied hues beautified the paths
Away from the humdrums
Chose i the land of green pastures, Gods own country...

Beauty lied in the structure of lanes
Moving up and down in a zigzag manner
Architectural marvels were the houses
Huge and marvellous were sight,with astonishing dazzling granite slabs
Roofs designed to grant a rural tinge
But with modernised designs internally
Courtyards with smiling flowers and coconut trees erected as pillars
Backyards filled with creepers of veggies dangling
Away from the humdrums
Chose i the land of green pastures, Gods own country...

Devotion of devotees captured ones attention
sun popped up late but temples opened before dawn
Classical music captivated the ambience
Altars of huge area with shrine was full of soulful divinity
Sounds of hymns resonated to evoke divinity
People waited and paused to have a glance of the priceless idol.
Amazing feel i gathered...garnered i a sense of peace
Away from the humdrums
Chose i the land of green pastures, Gods own country....
A sight of delight and fulfillment rushed in me
Truly i declare that the Gods own country added in pills of vitamins and tonnes of joy....
