The joy came without surprising.
At first, I saw them from a distance,
Among the backwater pools –
Spreading over like a sea of blue.
When I drew nearer to them,
Their faces appeared as:
The endless beauty of the sky.
They were glowing in eternal bliss,
Well-remembering:
They were ordained by destiny,
To bathe the un-hastening liquid,
In their blue light.
