Lotus

Rise delicate one

from the liquid  womb

murky and quite.

Rise to the kindling

of  the heavens above

Rise to the skies. 

for you will float above it all

and eventually

keep the company of Gods.

On a good day like this a package arrives.

Brimming with pink and white lotus buds

You hear them slowly unfold  into blooms ..

and quietly remember a day not long ago that went something  like today goes.
