Lotus of My Heart
In time,
I can perceive beyond the quiet of a chapel
all the wonders of the lotus flower
opened, warm, simplistic, beautiful, fragile
diluting my silent prayer of the hour,
multicolored blended poetic words
of innocence and soul delights
pubescent pinks, yellows, blues, simplicity unheard
globular green pod spiritual inner sights;
medicinal propagational bloom
a thousand bygone years old
treasures and wonders exhumed
with ancient stories to be secretly told;
indulgent inebriations lost and misbegotten
bypassing the sweetest memories
of lives and loves too easily forgotten
impassioned embedded over centuries;
but for you, but for me,
counterparts rewriting the blessings seized
come to recognize hopes and dreams set free;
giving release of the mind, the heart that love breathes
in every lover who risks their heart
to open the soul's hidden inner power
bowing, submitting to the swelling start
of the budding and blossom of a lotus flower,
both beautiful and magnificent, gift from above
spiritual and divine
embellished in the wonders of God's love,
your heart forever held safe, within mine.
