THUS  SPAKE  LOTUS

                           courtesy : google image

Let my soul be enraptured

By the soothing hue

Of petals opening out

Let the bee and butterfly alight

My language is nectar

I desire to proliferate

I long to embrace every water-hole

To whisper, talk, and sing

Of unity in diversity

Before I fade and wither

Let the lotus bloom

Let the fragrance spread
