Lotus

Ineffably, I explore the width of the earth, my sillage an ode to life. Smile of serenity. I lotus, exude wisdom as I age in stage, petals fade like memories, in purity. Parade akin chameleon. Spin in mud, reawaken like purged Alchemy In your garden. I ignite your aesthetic apex, stealing glances I see. Sips from my kiss, butterflies pollinate my ears, lured by the susurrous laments, birds slumber on my blooming arms. Chipmunks like drunks, dart on my toes. Bees dance in the air, mate like spiders.

Awesome personification Tonje. You sure have a way of expression. Bees mating like spiders, drunken chipmunks tripping on toes. So cool
