Just Another Day By The Countryside

The heavenly eye rises at the east
Awakening the sleepy beasts
The morning coffee brewing
The early birds chirping
Welcoming the dawn of a new day

The oil on the pan sizzles in heat
Sunflowers in the valley sway to nature’s beat
The laughter of children in the air
The lazy cat still in its lair
Tranquility blankets the countryside

The last crow from the rooster
Marks the start of ploughing for the farmers
Engine of a tractor running
The rhythm of busy bees buzzing
A day of activities comes to life

The screeching of chalkboard in the school
Challenges the croaks of the toads by the pool
Scent of baked potatoes can be detected soon
With the light breeze of a sunny afternoon
No doubt makes a happy lively village

The church bells ringing in merry
There’s the bride getting ready
The father walked her down the aisle
Her eyes fixed on her groom with a smile
Two more lovers in the world united now

The final school bell rang
The song of freedom the children sang
The hounds sticking out their tongues
The farmers breathing out their lungs
An afternoon of a napping siesta

The humming gossips of housewives over a cup of tea
The evening wind whispers tunes to the birch trees
Children sneaking to get a handful of cookies
A girl by the fence playing her music
A fine evening for the heart and soul

The heavenly eye sets in the west
It is time for the world to rest
The shepherd leading his flock into the pen
Into the house the children they went
A buzzing village came to a settle

The farmer sweating over a day’s work
The hills and mountains covered with murk
Lights flickered through the windows
Smoke appear through the chimney hollows
The night is coming

Clanking of forks and knives at the dinner table
The silent prayers offered to the altars
The instrumental band of crickets filled the night
Fireflies hovered around luminous lights
Darkness was not a feeling but only a sight

Children getting ready for bed
The owl searching for her mate
The stars flirted with innocent girls
The moon beamed down on this little world
It’s just another day by the countryside

If you have the time to smell the daisies by the window pane
If you got a moment to spare to stroll down the rocky lane
If you could take a minute to hear the nightingales sing
If you rather talk to a friend over a drink
Your life is complete
