The ruins an Golden Age


Come to the verdant country side,
A walk by the salving brooks and           
Majestic hills, where medicinal plants grow
Copious and  charming, with mystic songs
always transporting you to a world beyond
your ken and  wit; where are those colonies now?
They are dying and defunct like the dried fallen
Leaves. The quay stones speak volumes of  their
Pride  and history ; ruins are our once jewels ;

How often, urchins played under the tamarind tree,
Young pair of lovers indulged in romantic  songs,
While some others  rocked the cradles with sleeping
Babies, awaiting hot lunch in packs plantain leaves.              
I go back and think of Golden  Ages, when our
Grandparents  voicing from high hills and mountains
Echoing their cultural grit ever watching us:
I want to relive those  Golden  Age.
