THE LOTUS

A journey that starts from feeling to seeing to believe

The Lotus

 

Inside deep dark smelly pond opened its eyes slowly

A lotus bud looked around to realizes it’s being so lowly

 

Every bit of vicinity looked decaying and dead

It didn’t cease from blooming and sparkled instead

 

Looked at its reflection appreciating the bright colors

Its breathtaking smell amidst sad and neglected waters

 

Black surface of negativity now reflects heavenly sight

When a single drop of ignorance spreads its might

 

No one will touch the black instead savor the bright

Wrong loses its appearance in the audience of right

 

The spirit and the soul are two mirror images

The lotus smiles amidst these two embedded edges

 

There is nothing dark and nothing known as bright

It’s within the beholder who judges all in its sight

 

The Lotus will smile and sprinkle its beauty always

Under its spell the dark and decayed will fade away

"Black surface of negativity now reflects heavenly sight

Apart from this line everything was fine for the above lines were like Shakespeare written. Bravo!
