The way a lotus blooms - A poem
The way a lotus blooms The way a lotus blooms From the dirt So much can be learnt From this blush pink beauty’s place of birth Petal by petal They bloom in to the day and back in at night So much can be learnt from a mere flower Blooming from the underworld into the light They say before you can create order, you have to make a mess Perhaps in the same vein The lotus is a symbol of strength and resilience that arises from muck And is seen as humankind being blessed Sacred to our motherland An allegory for the most divine feminine figures, So much can be learnt from a flower Brave every storm as hard as you can, and the result is in other hands
