my daily poem march 20, 2004 - THE LOTUS

Folder: 
Childhood Poems

Lotus, the mystical flower in the East



Lustrous,lavish and luxuriant

With dew droplets,

Multi-petalled and steadily

Swaying to the refreshing breeze,

Majestically beautiful in

The morning calm lake that

Reflects the golden glory of the sun

Or the round moon in the star-spangled sky;

Lotus.the flower that has come

To represent the Buddha and

His discoveries; rebirth and

The Eight Fold Path;

The flower that the Goddess

Of Mercy chooses to meditate in.

There is always that rejuvenating

Spirit, ethereal purity

And calm acceptance of life

Where the Lotuses are;

Nature's gifts to men

Birds, frogs, fishes..and all
