The child holds in hands
a lotus
fragile, yet powerful
an eclectic beauty
like a divine soul.
It has its songs to sing
some thing left unsaid
some things unheard
ready to reach the human ear
ready to give a take on life
a spiritual awakening
a divine interpretation.
The eight petals blossom
with contentment
blossoming deep in mud.
Deep in the mud
among the stench
it rises and blooms
spreading its aroma.
Now this song
it needs to be heard
the flower calls out my name
beckon me to give away the pain
fall under the charm of God
lose the ego
let go of the demons.
Welcome them all
with a smile wide open
for beauty lies in
the purest of souls.

I am not a spiritual person. But I do respect others’ beliefs. When I looked up about the significance of a Lotus flower, it represents clarity of heart and mind. A lotus flower is a symbol of purity which rises unsullied through muddy water. It is also one of the Eight Buddhist symbols of good fortune.
