A poignant poem about nature, by Sangeeta, exclusively for Different Truths.
Watch the cruising ducks in the brimming Lake Ontario The serenity, they exude, is stunning Like an epitome of harmony Undeterred and unflinching On the wintry waves they swim As if posing for a freeze frame Single or in a pair Or sometimes the family entire The hen and the drake floating on the icy surfs In tow, the young ducklings Rubbing their broad beaks, floating face-to-face, They indulge in courtship Very much alike wooing human lovers who waltz in synchronised steps, Clasped arms and face-to-face!
