LOTUS
I grow in the rich muddy soil
I have strong tenacious roots anchoring me to the lake’s bottom
My desire to feel the warmth of the sun
on my petals
propels me to grow to the surface of the pond
As I blossom
I may remind you of purity and love
…an Angel’s kiss
At night in the silvery moonlight
my petals glow and shimmer mysteriously
In GOD’S caress
Our own flesh and blood
provide the soil for ecstasy to thrive
As we throw our head back
and raise our eyes
Our heart is overwhelmed by a lifetime of immense longing and desire
our hands stretched high to the sky
We are propelled to the pond’s surface
As we blossom
in the silvery moonlight
every cell, every feeling, every thought
every memory of our existence
glows and shimmers…
mysteriously
In GOD’S caress
