It would have been a lovely home

Once upon a time, I was walking on a street unknown to me.
The street was bright, the road was lively. I liked this unknown street very much.
The air was busy with sounds of cheery welcome tune.
And in standing in that unknown street, a strange wish arose in my mind
It would have been a lovely home, had I been from this unknown street.
I could have stayed there, and never felt lost.
A home away from home, a home better than home.
This unknown place, I could have stayed here.
Had I belonged.

Looking at this photograph by Biplab Majumder, I felt this unknown place holding better things than the home I knew. This unknown place, made me feel welcome. The shining magical rays, into the deep green forest, as if I could feel it, and its air sweeter than the air I knew. I can always live here with simple passions. I could have stayed here. Had I belonged.
