Shonima Burman Poet Imagism

Nishipadma: the Night Lotus

Pure white in colour,
Lovely star like flowers,
With Sweet fragrance,
Believed to bring good luck and prosperity,
Is very auspicious and lucky,
Rare and legendary, resembling cactus,
Also great use for medicinal purpose,
Blooms only for one night,
In the entire year.
Wither and fades away with dawn.
