The cows were grazing
on barren grounds –
those grounds are so lush! Now!

 

The coming of rains
have bathed the fields in gold –
such green fields, in green gold! Now!

 

It is monsoon time, but it appears...
to be like unseasonal Spring.
Mother Nature’s bounty
shows off its glistening, florescent coat
of mustard green gold! Now!
