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.
