Lotus

white petals open        
its advent loveliness shines    
your heart seeks the truth


This is a poem I wrote a few years ago and have revised it again many times today.  I hope these few words are able to reveal a little bit or most of what I want my readers to see and understand from it.  If not, then please look at my reflection to get an insight of writing this poem.

Author’s reflection:
This poem is about how there are many bad things in the world that taint people’s heart with all the negative energy around us.  A blooming lotus flower reveals the beauty and purity of the positive things that can make a difference.  My meaning of a lotus flower reminds me of a quote I like from Lord of the Ring movie said by Galadriel, “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.”  The lotus flower is very beautiful, and it gives a sense of innocence, peace, and calmness when you look at it.  I hope that when one sees a lotus flower, they will be able to see the real truth of within them.  One should be true to their heart and not be a hypocrite, phony, and/or swindler.
