Misc./Exp. Spring graced with endless toil for nought
It was Summer, dreams made eyes bleary
Empty the days of Autumn for the weary
Cold moments of solitude Winter wrought
Spring led the way for a revolt which bloomed as a lotus. This
flower, is something new. Deep into still waters of the wells of
time do it's roots anchor. Petals reach into the heavens and
pluck down a star.
Summer let the flower continue growing. Rains pouring down and
knaves dashing serfs. Vines pulling away walls, creating shoots
for more flowers. Streams coming into the well, feeding life
which changes.
Autumn, the bloom fades but flower remains. Roots in new wells,
seeds upon the winds. Each new day bringing more comfort for
life as it changes. Quietly bits of petals enclose upon the
bud. Beauty radiant in being new.
Winter sees flower wilted. No regret. Life will find it again
and be anew in Spring. There will be more lotus, and flowers
will overtake the world. Rest now, live on morrow's wake.
