We are pure water-bird, we are ducks,
Before sunset we have come back
Towards our home, sweet home
We are marching with prayer to God,
Our evening worship is going on.
We are hearing the bell of the temple,
We are chanting name of God,
We are staying here beside temple,
Priest has given us our evening meal,
We are going to nest taking rest!
Best is the path and the best is row,
We are disciplined birds we swim,
Whole day we spend in pond,
Leaving dirt and water away,
We drink pure milk from water.
Swinging in time's lap we swim,
In wisdom of God we are marching,
We are marching for his wisdom,
God is all in all, our father,
We love him very much, much we love,
We are going to attend evening prayer,
In the core heart of middle of temple,
Watching the dazzling lotus feet of God,
We shall offer him pure garland of lotus
Which we have brought up from pond we swim,
Our God will be pleased,
Then we shall take rest today!
Tomorrow's sunrise is waiting for us,
We shall behold golden pearls tomorrow,
Today we pray for the best day ahead,
We are now marching for wisdom of God!

Tomorrow's sunrise is waiting for us, We shall behold golden pearls tomorrow, Today we pray for the best day ahead, We are now marching for wisdom of God! ............ all creations of the One Creator marching towards the mercy of God to live every moment with peaceful breaths expecting the next with blessed of Him!
A beautiful moment of connection with humble living things. Their presence at the temple tank is a ceremony of life, just as ours is. From the resonance of life-force, we know the holy spark that leaps across gaps.5 stars for drawing this reader into an impromptu ceremony of innocence.

Ducks musing along! ! ! Beauty of life. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Even birds and fowls have an inbuilt urge to praise God, the great creator of everything! The ducks swimming in water and moving back to their place of rest in disciplined rows are lovely images created by the poet and deeply enhanced by the photograph.
