A square patch of land
Near the stream
My beautiful dream.
Verdant growth
Habitats to varieties
Of flora and fauna
Crabs, tortoises, fishes,
Fulfill all my wishes.
Under the shade
Of Mango and Jamun
Trees, I sleep at noon
Read and write
Watch tiny birds and
Colorful butterflies
Perching on the hedge,
A perfect life indeed
In this old age.

Indeed nature is the healer and the guardian. Living a life away from the urban complexities is every poet's wish. Beautifully penned wish.
