Her dream village in my dream
Shongminthang Haokip *
The village where we shall be blessing
The home where we shall be residing
The garden where we shall be dancing
May not surpass the worldly smart city
Though, as my dream village entails
The naturally rich and verdant green
As to be vouchsafe by heaven
Rich and poor, widows and orphans find their place
Being secure and serene, aspiration high
For being they have planned plants
Baby trees of Orange orchard and Stinky beans
Where houses are surrounds with verdant green
Backyard kitchen gardens filled with
Husband’s choice, modern village restaurant
Offering a cornucopia of pleasures
Visiting here shall connect hearts
With a majestic essence of nature
Beyond the worldly Wi-Fi connection
Our country farm shall produce all
Sweet and honeydew melons
Plums and pears under papaya trees
As I go further towards village traditional chalet
I saw a young lady lying on her bed
With full of love and imagination
As she listen to a music 'all of me' by
John Legend as of Me
