Guys, i was out of town, where signal is not that good, farming and trekking. I intend to try to beat the lockdown on August 6 by locking myself up in my farm until they lift it. Why when it entails a lot of physical effort to work on a farm? Firstly because there is hope there and there is fresh air, lotsa quick-smiling/greeting people, farmers on horseback sharing their veggies. Yes, there are more horses there than cows or carabaos.
WHEN IN APRIL
yb
At long last, clouds have lifted and dispersed;
The birds have reappeared; the land is wet;
The air smells of fresh earth; anguish reversed;
Yellow flowers dressed in green – proud and set
For a new day’s longed for exchange of views,
The meadow has become a noisy place;
Flora in brightest fashion clothes and shoes;
A conversation lively, vines embrace;
On privacies and on those blust'ring trees,
On rain, on covert sneak of weed on ground;
all drinking to the renaissance with glee
A cycle’s been concluded; life is found!
The conscious world sings, breathes and is aware!
With tenor voice that echoes in the air!
