Egyptian Lotus

Unification, rebirth, pure and clean
Egyptian blue lotus parades her truth
blooming every morning
assuring us of the cycle of life

She closes up in the afternoon
Can we all turn into a lotus after death?
Or is this honor reserved for pharaohs?
She bewitches us, this blue rose of Egypt

An icon between the Nile banks,
She is a powerful hallucination in our meditations
She bewitches and delights us
Showing us we can be reborn the day after our earth death

Unification, rebirth, pure and clean
Egyptian blue lotus gives us hope
Allows our imaginations to soar
A desert flower with attitude

This is lovely, Caren. Have you thought of publishing a book of your poetry?
