Abundance

Abandoned paddy fields are aplenty in Kerala

Barren or marshy, waits for fresh lease of life

Unused, but still a haven for the greenery

Nurturing the unwanted plants and pests  

Drenched in rain, they look like a carpet

Acts as the granary for animals and birds

Nursery for small fishes to swim around

Cultivation can help in food security, but  

Expects death calls from greedy realtors

Fogged Lake

A vast lake

Dressed up in early morning fog

She is waiting for her lover, the sun

Grey sky shaded its waterscape

Without waves, she is looking so calm

A small country boat positioned itself

In the middle of the deep trench

For catching some sleepy fishes

A lonely crow slowly flew across

As if searching for someone

At a distance, another boat raced through

Creating a channel of wave in a straight line

From one shore to the another

The grey fog has spoiled the trees around

They were silent as if it’s freezing

On the outer, the lake looked serene

I wonder how deep the water is!

Though beautiful, it’s salty to drink

But, it’s tempting to breach its depth

When I look through the window of this train
