A pair of white lotuses floating atop green lilypads.
A rare occurrence for me and yet they are so out of my reach.
Just like a blooming love I can sense between me and thee.

I was a lttle girl, so wistfully in thought back then.
Wearing a silk kimona, dreams of a sivered, shiny pen.
A special place in my heart, then, suddenly came to be,
Bright pink, soft turquoised robe, quite heavenly.
It was this little girl’s gifted.yummy yet holy solitude,
The blue moon and stars, gave her freedom and latitude.
I had no dreams to grow to be just like everyone on the
planet.
Choosing to be my own shooting star, not run by rules
made of granite!
I fantasized a room of bright, pink floating lotuses about me.
And that personal space, so long ago, lifted me, so I fly freely,
sans approving commentary.
Words do not impress me, but affectionate and soulful, warm
people do.
They are the ones encouraging me to live my life as a moonburst
of satisfying breakthroughs.

They were like lotuses in a pond,
Born in murky waters, dirty were their roots,
Their fragile body beaten by the wind,
Slapped and slapped, almost sinking deep.
Bereft from warmth, bereft indeed,
Yet pure inside; they were willing to heal,
To take on the world, to find something dear,
To bloom proudly despite their fears.

fooled
by deception,
bigotry and hate
set out
to seize the day...
totally unaware
they would encounter
justice...peace...love...
erupting from each step
along the way
they would dare:
truth prevails...
never fails...
